So it's his data flawed, not mine. OT is not a thing to base a
reconstruction of early proto-Turkic. It is Chuvash, Yakut/Sakha

Yakut gives information on vowel length and diphthongs.

That's right, but not only that. Yakut is unique in many ways and
preserves many archaic features which shed light on early Proto-

nevertheless its a language full of contractions and late sound
changes, not a conservative literary language

Turkic. It's like Gothic, Old Norse or modern Icelandic for the
history of Gmc. languages.- Hide quoted text -

Probably not contractions. Rather it preserves older phonemes where
other languages lost them. As to sound changes, they are far fewer
than in Chuvash which is quite aberrant. So, Yakut mantains balance
between deviant and conservative behavior.

nevertheless, you seem to base your reconstructions on its deviant
behavior ratehr than its conservative behavior- Hide quoted text -

Opinions of assholes are paramount.

I guess I am one of the well-known and officially recognised assholes
of the group, but even a most cursory reading will show to you that
Yusuf is deservedly the most appreciated person of the whole group,
due to both his extensive knowledge and his excellent manners.- Hide quoted text -
