{"product_id":"rote-meto-comparative-dictionary-owen-edwards-9781760464561","title":"Rote-Meto Comparative Dictionary","description":"This comparative dictionary provides a bottom-up reconstruction of the Rote-Meto languages of western Timor. Rote-Meto is one low-level Austronesian subgroup of eastern Indonesia\/Timor-Leste. It contains 1,174 reconstructions to Proto-Rote-Meto (or a lower node) with supporting evidence from the modern Rote-Meto languages. These reconstructions are accompanied by information on how they relate to forms in other languages including Proto-Malayo-Polynesian etyma (where known) and\/or out-comparisons to putative cognates in other languages of the region. The dictionary also contains two finder-lists: English to Rote-Meto, and Austronesian reconstructions with Rote-Meto reflexes. The dictionary is preceded by three introductory chapters. The first chapter contains a guide to using the dictionary as well as discussion of the data sources. The second chapter provides a short synchronic overview of the Rote-Meto langauges. The third chapter discusses the historical background of Rote-Meto. This includes sound correspondences, the internal subgrouping of the Rote-Meto family, and the position of Rote-Meto within Malayo-Polynesian more broadly.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Owen Edwards\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1760464562\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781760464561\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Anu Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/25\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 466\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.32lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.84h x 6.93w x 1.27d","brand":"Owen Edwards","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48445650698495,"sku":"9781760464561","price":60.53,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4ae3ff21-7e1a-4d77-870d-70f75fd9d711.jpg?v=1777219845","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/rote-meto-comparative-dictionary-owen-edwards-9781760464561","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
