For any and all who care, I have populated [[:Category:Proto-Polynesian language]] with some of the most basic terms (common nouns and adjectives, numbers one through ten). If anyone is interested in Polynesian etymologies, feel free to help out by improving and adding to these and/or linking to these in etymologies. --[[User:Metaknowledge|Μετάknowledge]]<small><sup>''[[User talk:Metaknowledge|discuss]]/[[Special:Contributions/Metaknowledge|deeds]]''</sup></small> 22:13, 1 June 2012 (UTC)

:[[Appendix:Proto-Polynesian/Sawaiki|*Sawaiki]] should be Proto-Nuclear-Polynesian rather than Proto-Polynesian, unless you know of reflexes in Tongan or Niuean that aren't in Pollex. It's tempting to include PNP and PEP (Proto-Eastern-Polynesian), but they're really separate proto-languages, presumably representing later stages in more restricted subsets of the family.

::I generally tried to verify at least one Tongic cognate for each, but if you find any more slip-ups, do tell. I'll snoop around for something in Tongan before fixing this, though. --[[User:Metaknowledge|Μετάknowledge]]<small><sup>''[[User talk:Metaknowledge|discuss]]/[[Special:Contributions/Metaknowledge|deeds]]''</sup></small> 05:09, 2 June 2012 (UTC)
