All the dictionaries of South East Solomon languages have failed to collect the word "chicken" except for Toqabaqita.

They are all excellent dictionaries and I am thankful to the authors! But this gap in data highlights the need for continued documentation efforts!

How do I find fans of Austronesian/Historical Linguistics?

I came across a nice example of metathesis today.

The Bugotu word talugu which is a reflex of PMP *takuRu "back."

RIP to my friend, teacher, and mentor, Haj Ross, who passed away last week.

Haj left his fingerprints all over the field of linguistics, coining many terms including: islands, sluicing, pied piping, and conspiracy (in the phonological sense).

i wonder if anyone is better at cracking themselves up than me

even if you are pretty good at solo chuckling, i bet i can crack yourself up more than you can

the leaf blower is a great invention if you want the leaves in your yard to be in your neighbor's yard instead

let the record show that the witness claims my client was "acting unhinged," but they themselves could not think of a single thing that would have qualified as a "hinged reaction" in the same circumstances

a lot of people talk only about themselves
because
that is what they have spent the most time thinking about
