Protolanguage dictionaries of NAmerican languages

[John Hewson]

----------------------------Original message----------------------------
 
Mary Haas suggested in The Prehistory of Languages that deeper
reconstruction could best be done on the basis of protolanguage
dictionaries of families with a time depth similar to Romance or Germanic.
 
Algonkian is such a family, and we have some 4000+ items of reconstructed
vocabulary. Are there any other such protolanguage dictionaries
or equivalent resources for other Amerindian families? Information would
be greatly appreciated.
