Reliability of PDra reconstructions
[edit]Proto-Dravidian reconstructions are provided but it isn't told according to who are these reconstructions, thus there's not even one reference and we the readers can't know whether or not they're reliable. For instance for the numeral 7, I found "ēr̤u"[1] on the sole reliable source having a reference template, which differs about the consonant which is the most important phoneme to reconstruct.
