No, I mean that since Anatolian is coordinate with the whole non-
Anatolian subfamily, it is more likely for an isolated survival to
occur in Anatolian than in a _single_ non-Anatolian branch (as the
latter requires a more complex sequence of events). Of course
isolated survivals are by their very nature impossible to identify as
such, but one consequence of the existence of such "dark matter" is a
higher proportion of unetymologisable words in Anatolian.
