OK, but accepting the words just as they find them, I still don't
see how they got their results.
The first cluster in table B is Maori-Persian-Finnish. The words are:
MAORI PERSIAN FINNISH
katoa hame kaikki
kino bad huono
hoopara shekam vatsa
hiwahiwa siah mutsa
iwi ostokhan luu
maevao ruz paiva
hemo mordan varjata
inu nushidan juoda
That's only half the list, but the other eight don't look any better.
Would someone explain why their computer finds this a cluster under
its insertion-deletion rules?
