See Petr's posting, quoting the same data:

and my answer:

I do not know why it is so difficult to get a direct answer to a very simple set of questions, which you in _nowise_ addressed in #46103.


    http://wwwgeocities.com/proto-language/WiikStudy.jpg
           
     Is the data in this table a _misrepresentation_ of Wiik's findings, and
     Cruttenden's, in which this table appears?
YES OR NO?
          
     Has someone come to different conclusions (disputed Wiik's data, e.g. Chen)?
YES OR NO?
  
In an absence of a response by Hrubis, I will be glad to discuss your response _to him_ in a subsequent message. But unless we can agree on a valid source for the data, your interpretation is as baseless as mine.
