  • Considering how tenuous T-NG and other phylum-level classifications are, perhaps someone could find a few matching half-prounouns, a "regular" correspondence involving the Portuguese for 'hat' and Bunak for 'I bow, nod, or doff' along with the Portuguese for 'cat' and Bunak for 'opossum', plus a vague similarity in the words for 'two'--all of which almost seems enough to stretch the T-NG 'phylum' into a Transylvania-New Guinea 'kingdom'.
