suntb's Issues

first release for CLICS

bika1249 wrong glottocode

This needs to be changed, as this glottocode does not work.

Tangut still appears in CLICS!

This needs to be deleted from the list of languages, as Tangut has only "--" in STEDT, and surfaces as "--" in CLICS or as nothing, because they have characters in the original source that were not digitized by the STEDT project. Currently, all Tangut entries are still transferred to CLDF output, although they are meaningless.

segments is still pinned in setup.py

We should only require a minimal version here.

Occurences of /v/ that looks like it should maybe be /ɤ/

Hi,

In the language DaliBai, Erich noticed forms such as:

Form	Dataset	ID
tɕ i ²¹ + tɕ ɑ ³⁵ + ts v ²¹	suntb	DaliBai-166_earthworm-1
ɑ ³¹ + ŋ v ⁵³	suntb	DaliBai-941_tenthousand-1
ɲ v ³³ + ȵ i ²¹	suntb	DaliBai-291_woman-1
p i ³¹ + f v ⁴⁴ + ts i ⁴⁴	suntb	DaliBai-240_nose-1

Where it happens that the dataset allenbai shows cognates with /ɤ/ rather than /v/:

Form	Dataset	ID
p i ²¹ + tɕ a ³⁵ + ts ɤ ²¹	allenbai	Qiliqiao-81_earthworm-1
a ³¹ + ŋ ɤ ³²	allenbai	Qiliqiao-462_tenthousand-1
ɲ ɤ ³³ + ɲ i ²¹	allenbai	Zhoucheng-156_woman-1
p i ²¹ + f ɤ ⁴⁴ + ts ɿ ³³	allenbai	Zhoucheng-128_nose-1

We suspect that /v/ in these forms in suntb might actually be /ɤ/.
