And of course Daia has two moons. :P
I know one has an orbital period of 22 days, and the other 40 days, therefore an 11:20 resonance and whence the 440-day year, but that's about it.

Three earth radii is a bit much even for my planet- I was thinking more like a radius and a half. This planet also has two moons; I don't know whether they're Moon-sized, though. I am thinking that they would be in some sort of orbital resonance with each other, and be used in early date-keeping. (For example, let's suppose the inner moon has a period of 15 days, and the outer moon one of 25 days, in a 3:5 resonance.

I once did some maths and some research and came out with something like three earth radii, if you push the density and rotation speed as low as you can. I can't remember how i came to that particular number, so don't believe me.
Of course, there are other considerations that worry me about three-earth-radii worlds: for example, wouldn't such a large world be a lot more stratified than our own, thus having a much lower concentration of iron and other heavy stuff on the surface? not enough o...

P.S. Wait, was it the language textbook reference? I add to my categorical objection the specific objection that dhok's ideas on how that should be have so far run counter to those of everyone else he has talked to on the subject, at least in my presence.

Yeah, I would advise adding the root for sure; a lot of cognates may not be necessary if we approach this whole thing with the intent of plugging dictionaries together.
Rather than working on LIV heavily, I may switch back to converting the Mallory and Adams data I already have; that contains a fair amount of cognate data itself. Preserving provenance is important, so if you include cognates, I would suggest having a way to indicate which text, and page made the claim.
