And this proves what? It is typologically usual but that has nothing to do
with connecting seka and svraka. Jens wrote the first example he stumbled
upon in the dictionary and compared it with svraka. I am just saying that
this is not comparable. No matter how the formation is common
cross-linguistically. We're not talking typology here.
