For the concept 'hand', a row represents a probable loss of the inherited Proto-Austronesian form *qalima ‘hand’, whether in the individual history of a single language or in a protolanguage ancestral to multiple languages.
For the concept 'five', a row represents a probable loss of the inherited Proto-Austronesian form *lima ‘five’.

Replacement events are considered taking a relatively conservative approach: that is, a replacement event is reconstructed to a protolanguage only if there is strong evidence for it and no apparent exceptions (such as a reflex of *qalima ‘hand’ found in one or more member languages of the given group).

`Replacement_Group` | `string` | Replacement events can also be considered taking a more liberal approach: that is, replacement events can, in some cases, be reconstructed to higher-order protolanguages or to multiple protolanguages in an area, either when the apparent exceptions seem to be possibly due to subsequent borrowing or when the “replacement event” could be viewed as a single areal spread across multiple languages or language groups. The “conservative” replacement events listed here are grouped into “liberal” events via matching values for the `Replacement_Group` column. If there is no discrepancy between the more conservative and the more liberal approaches, an event will be in a replacement group of its own.
