Fascinating historical site

[Wolfgang Schulze]

Dear Claire and Logan,
yes, it's fun indeed. However, it also is somewhat suggestive. For 
instance, it proposes a common North Caucasian language family that, 
however, is far from being proved. It is just a (in my eyes rather 
problematic) hypothesis. So, wouldn't it make sense to mark those 
instances in which  a common node is at least controversial? Also: Is 
there an option to - say - revise data through input from users (for 
instance, Udi has proven to be what is called in MultiTree a 'Nuclear 
Lezgic > East Lezgic' (that is, in my terms Eastern Samur)  language, 
hence is no longer to be classified as a separate offspring of 
Lezgic....)? [Sorry for these details, I just wanted to illustrate the 
problem/question. I guess many users will come across analogous problems 
when looking at 'their' languages]....
Very best wishes
and compliments for this ambitious project,
Wolfgang
