dist,Is distinctness due to lexical replacement or phonological change?,"For those languages that lack colexification, i.e. languages with value “lexically distinct” for parameter “Is there colexification?”, values for this parameter are “lexical replacement” or “phonological change”. However, some languages exhibit both lexical replacement and (partial) colexification; this is possible when there has been replacement of both ‘hand’ and ‘five’ such that the new forms are (partially) colexified: these cases are indicated by rows in ValueTable with an empty value and a comment “(recolexification)”.",

hand_replacement,What replaced ‘hand’?,"Values for this parameter are descriptions of the most likely etymology (traced as far back as possible in the Austronesian family) given for the word in the language that came to mean ‘hand’; values followed by “?” are somewhat uncertain; and those followed by “??” are even more uncertain; when no likely etymology has been posited, then the value is given simply as “unclear” (with no preceding etymology). Values are batched into five different categories, referenced by the `Code_ID` column.",
