2015 updated:
Polish -Mo
Murrin. +Se
Aymara -Se (Important)
Finnish + Sy + Mo
English + Pr
Important discoveries:
- Aymara 2015, out of this analysis is the only question that has no semantics at all, it is a purely monolinguistic Pho question. This means: a) a Pho monolinguistic category is possible b) there is no hierarchy of linguistics in UKLO questions, i.e. there is no derivation from Semantics as a central node c) previous analysis of PhoSe is incorrect and has been overestimated. One of the characteristics of Aymara is the lack of an english or any language – language translation, or a hint to meaning at all, which was assumed to be the case for all UKLO questions. That assumption has now turned out to be false. The question is focused on phonotactics.
- English 2015 shows another avenue for a pragmatics question. Comparing English 2015 with Aymara 2015, there is a subtle distinction to be made between acceptable and unacceptable, and right and wrong. We’ve classified the latter to be pragmatics based, and the former to be based on rules that is outside the realm of human intuition that contrasts from a computer’s reasoning.

2.20(01/03/2023)
Important update:
2019 papers updated:
Corrections: Mongolian: MoPho > MoPhePho, Gumatj: Se > SeSy, Polish: MoPhoSeSy > PhoSeSy, Witsuwiten: SeSy > PhoSeSy
Important case study: Mongolian 2019, caused all these minor changes
All _*Pho_ > _*Pho*Se_
Note: With the corrections in place from the discovery of a miscalculation from Mongolian 2019 in the light of a Phe presence to be a total but loose identification of Phonetics, a monolinguistic Pho category in fact does not exist in UKLO questions. It is in fact bilinguistic paired Se with Pho taking the dominant characteristic. An important question to ask is, is a Pho category possible, can it be created? There is evidence that this is theoretically possible( Kakawin 2021, Mongo 2020, Catalan 2012). Will this have an effect across other linguistic branches?
