I sent a split request to the LCA about Khanty, and got a response last night. I made a response today, with a lot of publications showcasing the importance in organising and representing these languages as separate.

Do they write in the Komi language sometimes? Or is it mostly in Russian? >.>
Would be cool if we could make an "ad" with them about Lingonaut, maybe we could even have a Komi course if someone joins us.

mét comes from the original word of kecskemed -> med which means "periodical waterditch" (Kiss 1980)
However he doesn't say what it comes from... 🤔

For a while I thought that the city named Kecskemét had "mét" in it as the old relictum of the cognate of maa, but alas that is not true 😔

I always wondered how Hungarian doesn't have a cognate with ма̄.

I had an idea on making this booklet in all the Uralic languages that have a translation of the UDHR.
If anyone knows where I could find them, outside of Hungarian, Finnish and Estonia, I'd be very happy if they could lend me a hand in collecting them!

I have made a mockup of the mansi translation of The Universal Declaration of Human Rights in a booklet format. Ofc wrote on it that it hasn't been reviewed by the UN on an official case.

Souls can also materialize in different ways: as a visible shadow, a breath of air, a reflection in water, or even a bird. After death, some souls go to the realm of the dead, while others remain on earth for a certain period of time, where they can harm the bereaved.
