Template talk:U:bnt-pro:Common

@Metaknowledge "because of historical or linguistic considerations" what does this refer to? I'm assuming this template exists because there is a common reason why these terms can't be reconstructed with any clarity, but it doesn't actually explain what that reason is other than in these vague, effectively meaningless terms.

Where there are explicit discussions in the scholarly literature, the entry should have some added text explaining the case for that particular word. But for most of these, it's simply that there is no attestation in zones A through C, which strongly suggests that a given word is an innovation after Proto-Bantu. —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 05:33, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
