		First: for languages closely related (or dialects of the same language, or a pidgin and its lexifier language), it is so easy to borrow not only words but affixes, structures and other features that a massive influx of borrowings can almost or completely cover some original features.
		At the same time, however, it is rarely suggested that a language family (or what to be a language family) could come about simply as a result of convergence processes operating among spatially adjacent languages without their sharing a common descent.
		Proceeding from the supposed course of affairs, Ob-Ugric languages were finally formed only in West Siberia in the manner suggested by Wiik: the Samoyeds’ ancestors (or part of them) who so far had spoken a Paleosiberian language form, learned the Finno-Ugric language form, spoken then by the ancestors of the Mansis and Khanties.

	LINGUIST List 4.567: Compounds, Russian, ARTFL, Mandarin
		The working hypothesis of this project is that at least some languages maintain a strict modifier-head order which holds across syntax and the lexicon, and is most predictably reflected in the relation of adjuncts to nouns in NPs, e.g.
		The conflict arises in languages whose modifier-head order is M + H if the language is predominately prefixing and those with H + M order if the language is predominately suffixing.
		I predict that if a language is compelled by default modifier position to locate the compound modifier in that position normally occupied by the affix if the derivation were not compound, affixation will be forced by the head-application default to an internal position (_mothers-in-law_) or to be omitted (_pick-pocket_).
