The dictionary even carries the near-verbatim example 'Yinya mayi ngulkurr bajaku' = 'That food is very good', confirming the evidence claim; bajaku is the §3.2.3.8 degree suffix -baja-ku, not a lexical root, and is attested in that dict example.

created_at: 2026-07-02T20:56:03.496209+00:00
issues:
Both roots attested with claimed meanings: wulbuman 'old woman' (dict L27751) and bambay 'sick' (dict L1235). However the dictionary explicitly marks wulbuman '(english loan word)' and cheatsheet §13 lists it among adapted English loans, yet the row's loans_used is [] — inconsistent with the batch's own convention (cf. seq 10/24 listing naybu/damba). Metadata error only; the Kuku sentence itself is lexically sound.

created_at: 2026-07-02T20:56:03.496209+00:00
issues:
badabada is NOT a dictionary headword under the exact-spelling rule: the dictionary has bada-bada (hyphenated, L171) glossed 'underneath, below', plus base bada 'down, down river, down hill' (L157). The claimed meaning 'down there' matches Patz [A 297] verbatim ('Jana karrkay badabada' = 'The children are down there', cheatsheet §11), so the form is grammar-attested — downgrade to issue, not fail. Also the dict gloss ('below/underneath') differs slightly from the claimed 'down there'; Patz is the authority here. karrkay homograph checked: the noun sense 'small one, child, young one' (dict L13636) is attested, so its use for 'children' is fine (plurality carried by jana).

suggested_fix:
Either respell to the dictionary headword: 'Jana karrkay bada-bada.' (analysis bada-bada 'below/down there'), or keep 'badabada' with evidence noting the spelling follows Patz [A 297] against dict headword 'bada-bada'.

issues:
dingkar 'male, man, boy' (dict L5882) and yinya (dict L30326) attested. But Wujalwujal is not a dictionary headword: it appears only INSIDE other entries' definitions/glosses, always spelled hyphenated 'Wujal-wujal' (e.g. L25359, L25382 place-name entries; the pseudo-headword sentence at L21471 has 'wujal-wujaldarr'). The root is grammar-attested (wujalwujal-arra §3.2.3.7, cheatsheet §7 'wujalwujalarra Bloomfield people', unhyphenated), and ABL -muny on a place name follows the Cairns-muny pattern — so downgrade to issue: unhyphenated proper-noun spelling conflicts with the dictionary-internal spelling 'Wujal-wujal'.

suggested_fix:
Decide and standardize the place-name orthography: either 'Yinya dingkar Wujal-wujalmuny.' (dictionary-internal spelling) or keep 'Wujalwujalmuny' with evidence citing the cheatsheet's unhyphenated wujalwujalarra as the spelling authority for this proper noun.

Morphology is fully correct: store-mun-bu = loan + catalytic -mun- (§2/§3.12) + LOC neutral -bV after n-final stem with u-harmony -> -bu, exactly matching attested school-mun-bu dunga-y (grammar.md line 1999); ngana = 1pl.inc.NOM (§8); dunga-y y-conj NONPAST covers future; temporal wunkun initial per §11. However the English 'we will ALL go' has no Kuku counterpart: 'all' is rendered by nothing (no quantifier, no plural-subject -ri- as in dunga-ri-y §10c) — ngana alone is just 'we (incl.)'. Minor pair-fidelity gap in an otherwise verified sentence.

suggested_fix:
Simplest: trim the English to 'Tomorrow we will go to the store.' (keeps the clean attested Kuku). Alternatively mark plural subject overtly: 'Wunkun ngana storemunbu dungariy' (dunga-ri-y go-PL.S-NONPAST, §10c).

burrir exists as a dictionary headword (line 4127) but carries 'needs_review: no definition or translation in source' — the claimed meaning 'island' is NOT dictionary-attested; it is attested only by the grammar/cheatsheet (LOC anchor burrir-a 'island', Patz [A 268] verbatim). No other dictionary entry glosses 'island' as a common noun. Secondarily, words_used lists 'mariji' while the dictionary headword is 'mariji-y' (gloss 'swim', y-conjugation, source: grammar — the entry explicitly cites Patz ex. 268, this very sentence, in past form mariji-ny), so that lexeme is acceptably attested. nganjin 'we plural exclusive' is dictionary-attested.

suggested_fix:
Sentence itself needs no change (it is the Patz [A 268] verbatim pattern). Fix the evidence trail: cite burrir='island' as grammar-attested (Patz [A 268]) rather than dictionary-attested, and/or repair the dictionary entry for burrir with the 'island' gloss; normalize words_used to the dictionary citation form mariji-y.

issues:
bunday exists as a dictionary headword (line 3928) but carries 'needs_review: no definition or translation in source' — the claimed meaning 'sit' is NOT dictionary-attested; no dictionary entry glosses 'sit' for bunday. It is attested only by the grammar/cheatsheet (§10a y-conjugation 'sit'; model paradigm bunday/bundan; fixed redup bundanday 'keep sitting'). Other lexemes are clean: wulbuman 'old woman', baya 'flame, fire' (correctly baya-nga fire-LOC, not bayan 'house' — anchor [A 358]).

suggested_fix:
Sentence itself needs no change. Fix the evidence trail: cite bunday='sit' as grammar-attested (Patz Table 3.17 paradigm) rather than dictionary-attested, and/or repair the dictionary entry for bunday with the 'sit' gloss.

lexicon attestation gap: bula (3du.NOM, visible in the analysis) exists as a dictionary headword (L3739) but the entry is UNGLOSSED — 'needs_review: no definition or translation in source' — so its claimed meaning 'they two' cannot be verified from the dictionary, only from the grammar (cheatsheet §8 pronoun table; Patz exx 65/234/529 'Bula jalbu-bulal-angka' verbatim). All other words verified: jalbu 'female/woman', kuyu 'fish', wayjul 'cook' (dict spelling; analysis waju-ny matches the §0 assimilation convention); jalbu-bulal-angka ERG:pt matches Patz verbatim.

Syntax and case are correct and attested: temporal 'wunkun' clause-initial (§11), pronoun S 'ngana' NOM, goal-of-motion = LOC with loan + catalytic -mun- — 'store-mun-bu dungay' exactly parallels Patz-attested 'school-mun-bu dunga-y' (grammar.md ex. 64 and 220), NONPAST -y for future. However the English 'we will ALL go' contains a quantifier with no Kuku counterpart — 'ngana' is just 1pl.inc 'we'. This EN↔KY mismatch teaches the model to drop/hallucinate 'all'.

suggested_fix:
Change the English to 'Tomorrow we will go to the store.' (no clean Patz-sanctioned 'all of us' quantifier exists; plural-subject -ri- marks plurality, not totality, so amend the English side).

Case-frame not licensed for this meaning. The cited attestation Patz [A 415] 'Babi-ngka maral balka-ny, ngawa kuji-nka' is a jussive purposive-complement construction (§4.4.1, O = A-prime co-reference: 'told the girl TO LOOK AFTER THE BABY') — the addressee-as-ABS-O frame is licensed only by that complement clause. Standalone balkal + plain ABS O means 'make' in Patz (413 'kurmun balka-l' make a bag; 284 'belt balka-ny'; 589 'kalka balka-nka'), so 'Wulbumanangka maral balkan' most naturally reads 'The old woman MADE the girl.' A plain addressee of speech takes LOC:pt (Patz text 41 'Ngayu Chris-anda balka-ny' = 'I said to Chris'; 417/418 yalamal + LOC:pt; cheatsheet §5 and pitfall 5), and the row's own evidence field concedes the elder LOC variant 'Bamanda balkan'. Secondary: wulbuman is a §13 adapted loan but loans_used=[] (contrast seq 40 declaring naybu).

Alternatively keep the O-frame but complete the jussive per [A 415], e.g. 'Wulbumanangka maral balkan, ngawa kujinka.' = 'The old woman told the girl to look after the baby.'

Minor dropped content element: English 'we will ALL go' contains a universal quantifier over the group, but the Kuku has only ngana (1pl.inc.NOM, 'we' plural inclusive) with no exponent of 'all' (no totality clitic -(V)rrku §15 or similar). Back-translation is 'Tomorrow we will go to the store.' Everything else round-trips exactly: wunkun='tomorrow' (dict, temporal-initial §11), NONPAST dungay ↔ 'will go', store-mun-bu = loan + catalytic -mun- + neutral LOC as goal of motion (§2, §5, §13, matches attested school-mun-bu). Arguably ngana inclusive can be idiomatically rendered 'we all (including you)', but the analysis glosses it only as 1pl.inc, so the 'all' is unsupported.

suggested_fix:
Change the English to 'Tomorrow we will go to the store.' (or, if 'all' must be kept, mark totality explicitly in the Kuku, e.g. via the totality clitic per §15 — the simpler English-side fix is preferred).

Fidelity of the bare-tell reading is not secure. The cited [A 415] 'Babi-ngka maral balka-ny, ngawa kuji-nka' licenses an ABS addressee ONLY in the O=A' purposive-complement construction (§4.4.1: 'told the girl TO look after the baby'). For a plain 'told X' with no complement clause, Patz marks the addressee LOC:pt — §4.1.4.4(iii) explicitly lists 'tell' among the addressee-LOC three-argument verbs, and Patz text ex. 41 'Ngayu Chris-anda balka-ny' = 'I said to Chris'; the row's own evidence field admits the elder gold uses the LOC frame ('Bamanda balkan'). Since balkal also means 'make' ([A 284], [A 413] 'kurmun balka-l' = 'is making a bag'), 'Wulbumanangka maral balkan' back-translates ambiguously ('made the girl'? / truncated 'told the girl to...'), so the English 'The old woman told the girl' does not round-trip reliably. Cheatsheet pitfall §14.5 (recipient/addressee of tell = LOC:pt).

suggested_fix:
Wulbumanangka maralanda balkan. (analysis: wulbuman-angka maral-anda balka-ny | old.woman-ERG:pt girl-LOC:pt tell-PAST — addressee LOC:pt per §4.1.4.4iii; maral-anda is an attested anchor form). Alternatively keep maral as ABS O but add a purposive complement to match [A 415] exactly.

Register (English naturalness + elder style): 'The old woman told the girl.' is truncated — 'tell' with a bare addressee object and no content ('told her WHAT?') is not a natural standalone colloquial English utterance. The cited evidence frame Patz [A 415] 'Babi-ngka maral balka-ny, ngawa kuji-nka' uses the O-addressee frame WITH a purposive complement ('Grandmother told the girl to look after the baby'); truncating it leaves both sides feeling incomplete. Patz's own standalone 'Wulbuman-angka balka-ny' (appendix text, line 28) is glossed 'The old woman SPOKE', and the elder gold pairs (the style target) consistently render 'told X' with a LOC:pt addressee ('nyulu Bamanda balkan', 'Nyulu jananda balkan'), not a bare O. Kuku is grammatically defensible but the pair as-is reads like clipped textbook filler rather than natural elder speech. Cultural content itself is everyday-safe.

suggested_fix:
Either complete the attested frame: English 'The old woman told the girl to look after the baby.' / Kuku 'Wulbumanangka maral balkan, ngawa kujinka.' (verbatim [A 415] pattern); or keep it simple in elder style: English 'The old woman spoke to the girl.' / Kuku 'Wulbumanangka maralanda balkan.'

REGISTER/ORTHOGRAPHY vs the elder style target: surface 'kadanbaja' fuses the clitic, but the elder gold pairs (the declared style/surface authority per cheatsheet §0: 'the surface matches the gold data') write baja as a SEPARATE word in this exact collocation — 'kadan baja' (twice), plus 'kari nyajin baja', 'yirrkan baja', 'warrin baja', 'damalda baja'.

LOC maja-nga = -ngV after vowel, a-harmony ([A 277] maja-nga scrub-LOC). Surface 'madjanga' checks out: dictionary headword is madja 'scrub, jungle, rain forest' (distinct entry from maja 'boss' loan), and dict spelling is the surface authority (§0), with Patz maja- correctly preserved in the analysis field (same convention as wayju/waju).

Plural-subject -ri- licensing not met: Patz §3.8.5.5(i) (grammar.md line ~3560) states a -ri- stem cannot itself indicate subject plurality — 'the subject must be marked for plural by reduplication or a plural pronoun.' The subject 'bama narmba' has neither: bama is unreduplicated and there is no plural pronoun; narmba 'all' is an adjective/quantifier, not one of the two named devices. Both attested bama + -ri- examples ([A 188] and appendix text 11: 'Jana bama jabajaba wandi-ri-ny') include the plural pronoun jana. The form bundarin (bunda-ri-ny -> -n) is itself well-formed, and -ri- is described as optional/redundant, so this is a licensing-condition problem, not a suffix-shape error. First clause 'Kaba kadan' is fine ([A 226] kaba kaday; kada-ny -> kadan).

suggested_fix:
Either add the plural pronoun per the [A 188] pattern: 'Kaba kadan. Jana bama narmba kana bundarin.' (analysis: jana bama narmba kana bunda-ri-ny), or drop the optional -ri-: 'Kaba kadan. Bama narmba kana bundan.'

THE PROBLEM: the dictionary glosses ngali 'we two INCLUSIVE', but Patz explicitly rules the opposite — grammar.md:2682: 'In Kuku Yalanji the reverse applies for first person dual forms: ngali implies exclusive, while the inclusive pronoun involves an increment (ngaliny)'; cheatsheet §8 agrees and defaults to exclusive. The batch's analysis (1du.exc.NOM) follows the grammar authority and the English 'we two' is clusivity-neutral, so the sentence is correct — but the dictionary gloss actively contradicts the analysis and no errata ruling covers ngali yet (cf. errata #6 kaday, an analogous dict error).

suggested_fix:

Wrong DAT allomorph: wujurr-uku applies the neutral DAT -VkV/r- allomorph to a TRILL-final (rr) stem, but Patz's r-condition is retroflex-r only. Patz (428a) attests this exact frame verbatim with the elsewhere-allomorph: 'Ngayu yinil wujurr-ku' = 'I am afraid of the dark'. Corroboration: LOC of wujurr is attested as wujurr-bu (elsewhere -bV, not *wujurr-u), and a grammar-wide search finds zero rr-final stems with -VkV but several with bare -kV (bangkarr-ka, manyarr-ka, kararr-ka, kalka-jirr-ka); the -VkV examples (kadar-aka, kukur-uku, bibar-a LOC -V) are all retroflex-r-final. The batch's cited 'kukur-uku pattern' is retroflex-r and does not license rr.

Morphology itself is clean (nyulu 3sg.NOM; binal + neutral DAT bubu-ku, u-harmony, attested [A 255] and elder 'binal kari bubuku'). But the English adverb 'well' has no Kuku exponent in the sentence — pitfall 14 (every English quantifier/adverb needs an exponent or the English must be trimmed): 'Nyulu binal bubuku' translates 'He knows the country', not '...well'.

suggested_fix:
Trim the English to 'He knows the country.' (keeping the Kuku as-is); alternatively supply an exponent, but the attested intensifying particles (e.g. nguymal 'thoroughly') are verb-modifying, so trimming the English is the safe fix.

Wrong verb inflection for the murruji frame: murruji is an ADVERBIAL particle (Patz section 3.8.6.1 list, 'cannot') and both attested uses take a FINITE verb, not a purposive complement — Patz (654i) 'Nganjin-ku-lu murruji wukurri-l-wukurri-ny' ('we could not follow', PAST) and text 50 'jana murruji warri-ny' ('they could hardly run', PAST). The batch derived murruji+PURP by analogy with binal [A 585], but binal is an adjectival particle with a licensed complement pattern; adverbial particles per Patz modify the verb directly and 'cannot... take case inflections like adjectives' — no purposive complement is attested. The PURP form maraji-nka is itself well-built (y-conj PURP -nkV, i->a harmony; maraji is the community-dict headword, y-conjugation), but PURP is the wrong choice here. Additionally, the corrected NONPAST must obey the section-2 /y/-deletion rule (y-conj verbs in -i surface bare, like badiy->badi).

suggested_fix:
Kuku: 'Ngayu murruji maraji.' — analysis: ngayu murruji maraji-y | 1sg.NOM cannot swim-NONPAST (surface y deleted after i per section 2), matching the attested murruji + finite-verb pattern of [A 654i].

none — ngamu 'Mother, mother's sisters' and yunu 'your (singular possessive)' dict-verified. wanjabu is a dict headword; its dict gloss 'where to' is narrower than the use here, but the sentence is VERBATIM Patz example (129) 'Yunu ngamu wanjabu?' = 'Where is your mother?' (grammar.md:2766), and Patz §3.7 explicitly documents wanjabu in 'both locative and allative sense'. Positive verification complete.

nganjan 'father', kaday 'come' (errata #6), and baja 'again/more' (dict adverb, definitions include 'again') all dict-verified. But wanjawanja 'when' is NOT a dictionary headword (grep = no hit) and is NOT in the errata's grammar-sourced-additions table; the evidence field cites the grammar attestation ([A 582] 'Wanjawanja yundu kada-y-baja?' — confirmed verbatim at grammar.md:6162, plus the interrogative table at grammar.md:2787) but fails to flag the dictionary gap, unlike seq 31's honest flag. Per pitfall #11 a non-dict root needs an explicit ruling.

suggested_fix:
Add 'wanjawanja' (interrogative, gloss 'when', sentence-initial) to the errata grammar-sourced additions citing Patz Table 3.11/[A 582], and note the dict-absence flag in this row's evidence field. Sentence text itself is correct.

gender mismatch between the analysis gloss and the English: analysis glosses kamba-kamba as 'old.woman-REDUP' (dictionary: kamba = 'old woman', explicitly contrasted with wulbuman; Patz (315) kamba-maniji-ny 'become an old woman', (592) Kambakamba-ngka), so cold back-translation gives 'The old women sat down inside', not 'The old people'. Mitigating: elder gold uses Kamba-kambanda for gender-neutral 'Elders' and kambanda for the male Elder Kubirri, so the gender-neutral reading has real usage support — but then the analysis gloss should say so; as written, English and analysis disagree. Rest is faithful: kana 'inside' ✓, bunda-ri-ny sit-PLS-PAST ↔ 'sat down' past plural ✓

Safest: change English to 'The old women sat down inside.' Alternative: keep English and re-gloss the analysis as 'elder-REDUP.ABS (elder-gold usage: kamba = Elder, gender-neutral)'

Pitfall 14: English 'very' has no Kuku exponent — junkurrji is just 'strong'. Patz attests the exact needed form verbatim: junkurr-ji-bajaku 'very strong' (text ex. 'Bijarr kada-ny junkurr-ji-bajaku' '[He had] a very strong dream'; also ERG-marked junkurr-ji-baja-ngka-ku [A 84]). Secondary note: cheatsheet §7/Table 3.3 gives COMIT -iji after rhotic (walarr-iji) which would make junkurriji, but Patz explicitly states -ji/-iji are in free variation after rhotics in normal speech and attests junkurr-ji verbatim ('jila junkurr-ji' 'a strong smell'), so junkurrji stands — no change needed there.

suggested_fix:
Kuku: 'Yinya warru junkurrji-bajaku.' — analysis: yinya warru junkurr-ji-baja-ku | that.ABS young.man.ABS strength-COMIT-very (Patz-attested verbatim). Alternatively trim English to 'That young man is strong.'

Bare kana 'inside' is unlicensed — the analysis's citation of §3.3 is factually wrong: Patz's §3.3 closed class of location words (exhaustive 18-item list: wangkar(wangkar), bada(bada), walmbi, jakuy, compass points, yuba, ngundu, kalakalbay, wuyar, ngubar, yiringkurr, kudamundu, yarra) does NOT contain kana; kana is a NOUN (dictionary: noun 'inside') and as a place adjunct must take LOC. Attested: Patz text 'jurril-ma-ny kana-nga wala-ny' (inside-LOC), and the DB-curated usage example 'Ngana kananga bayanba bundanday' = 'we are sitting inside the house' — the exact sit-inside construction. Everything else verifies: -ri- PLS attested (wandi-ri-ny [A 188], kada-ri-ka [A 189/569], elder bundarinka); 'old people' ↔ kamba-kamba supported by elder gold (Kamba-kambanda 'Elders', used even of male Kubirri).

Pitfall #14: English 'very' has no Kuku exponent — junkurrji alone = 'strong' (elder gold verbatim 'Ngayu jarra junkurrji Wurrumbunku'); elder gold renders 'very' with bajaku (e.g. 'yinyilmarin bajaku', 'nguwul-nguwulman bajaku'). English and Kuku sides mismatch in intensity.

suggested_fix:
Trim the English to 'That young man is strong.' (preferred, keeps the elder-attested junkurrji predicate); alternatively intensify the Kuku ('Yinya warru junkurrji bajaku.') if the grammar lens confirms bajaku on a -ji comitative form.

Decisive: Patz (428a) attests this exact predicate VERBATIM as 'Ngayu yinil wujurr-ku' 'I am afraid of the dark'. The evidence field's 'kukur-uku pattern' conflates retroflex r with trill rr.

Unattested construction: murruji is an ADVERBIAL particle (Patz §3.8.6.1 list, 'preferred position immediately before or after the verb') and every attestation has it modifying a FINITE verb: Patz (654i) 'Nganjin-ku-lu murruji wukurri-l-wukurri-ny' (could not follow, PAST), text 50 'jana murruji warri-ny', DB usage gold 'Ngayu murruji dakal' (NONPAST), Bible 'nyulu murruji nyajin'. No attestation of murruji governing a purposive complement — the binal analogy fails because binal is an adjectival particle (§3.9.1 class, like wawu/balu, which DO govern DAT/PURP); adverbial particles cannot head complements.

issues:
Two problems. (a) Recipient-LOC with yungal 'send' is unverified: Patz lists the addressee/receiver LOC function for 'tell, show, ask, give' (§4.1.4.4(iii)), and BOTH attested yunga-l + LOC:pt examples mark the INTERMEDIARY — (273) 'send your food WITH my mother', (274) 'sent a message WITH the policeman'. So 'yungan yabanda' most plausibly reads 'sent [them] with (via) elder brother', not 'to'. The cited [A 272] recipient frame is dajil 'give', not yungal. (b) English 'my elder brother' has no possessive exponent: bare yaba-nda construes as the SUBJECT's brother ([A 272] is glossed 'HIS elder brother'), i.e. mother's brother here, and seq 22 in this batch renders 'my' overtly — inconsistent.

suggested_fix:
Ngamungku kambi dajin ngayku yabanda. with English 'Mother gave the clothes to my elder brother.'

Number mismatch (lens rule on number + pitfall 14): English 'the childREN' is plural but the Kuku recipient is bare singular/number-neutral karrkay-anda.

('Some' in 'some food' is acceptable as a weak indefinite article rendered by bare mayi.)

Bare 'muduwaju' as a temporal adverbial 'at dawn' is unattested. muduwaju is NOT in the closed time-word class of Patz §3.4 (nyiku, yilaybaja, yilay-yilay, wunkuny, juma, yilayku, ngadiy-), so the §3.4 'bare root = at/during that time' rule cannot be assumed to license it. Both Patz attestations of the temporal usage carry -ny: 'muduwaju-ny' (Appendix Text 36 lines 24 and 33, glossed dawn-PAST) and the §5.2.2 prose reference "muduwajuny 'at daybreak'". The dictionary entry itself (a grammar-sourced addition) states the temporal form is muduwajuny. The rest of the sentence is morphologically fine (ngawa ABS; badi-ny -> surface badin per §0/§10b).

suggested_fix:
Muduwajuny ngawa badin. (analysis: muduwaju-ny ngawa badi-ny, matching the attested Patz form) — or substitute an attested §3.4 time word / attested collocation, e.g. 'Yalibala ngawa badin.' 'The baby cried early in the morning.'

Two problems. (1) Surface 'waju' violates the ratified spelling convention: the errata ('Generation-side conventions ratified') rules 'cook' = wayjul (dict spelling, dictionary.yaml headword verified; Patz waju-l belongs in the analysis field only), and the row's own words_used lists "wayjul" — the surface is internally inconsistent with it. (2) English 'come back' has no Kuku exponent for 'back': kada-nyjiku = 'come' only; pitfall 14 requires an exponent or trimming the English (elder gold 'came back' = kadan baja). The SUCC morphology itself is correct: kaday y-conj + -nyjiku, no-common-NP frame verified verbatim at Patz (455) 'Ngayu dunga-ny, muyar kada-nyjiku'; IMP waju- zero-form correct for disyllabic l-conj.

suggested_fix:
Surface: 'Minya wayju, karrkay-karrkay kadanyjiku!' (analysis keeps waju-∅) and trim the English to 'Cook the meat before the children come!' — do NOT bolt baja onto a SUCC form (unattested; the clitic sheet says verbal -baja combines with nothing).

issues:
Wrong imperative allomorph: the analysis glosses 'maraji | swim.IMP', but maraji is a trisyllabic -ji--derived y-conjugation stem (dictionary.yaml:18130, verb_class y-conjugation, derivation -ji-), and Patz §3.8.4.2(iii) requires IMP -ka on roots/stems of more than two syllables of either conjugation (grammar.md:3209; attested (153) yijarri-ka!, (154) mara julurri-ji-ka!, (155) binal-ma-ka!); only -bunga-l/-mani-l causative compounds take zero. So the IMP is marajika. Bare 'maraji' can only parse as NONPAST maraji(-y) with /y/-deletion after i (§2), turning the main clause into a declarative — and the evidence miscites [A 432], which is exactly that declarative NEG+NONPAST with explicit subject Nyulu ('He does not bathe...', grammar.md:5338), not a command. All attested prohibitive+precautionary frames use IMP: [A 433] nguju-wuri-y, [A 436] waju, [A 437] karrba. Rest of the sentence is correct (wawubaja-nga LOC, bilngkumu-ngku ERG:pt u-harmony, yununy 2sg.ACC, bayka-nyji PRECAUT).

issues:
Two lexicon-level problems. (1) Surface spelling: 'cook' surface is written 'waju' (Patz phonemic form) but the errata ratifies the dict spelling wayjul for surface ('cook' = wayjul, Patz waju-l recorded in analysis only), and batches 001/002 consistently wrote the surface as 'wayjun' (Ngamungku damba wayjun; Yinyangka jalbungku kuyu wayjun) — 'waju' breaks the established corpus convention; note wajul is NOT a dictionary headword, only wayjul is. (2) Pitfall #14 exponent gap: English 'come back' but Kuku has only kada-nyjiku 'before...come' — 'back' (= baja 'again', dict adverb, elder gold 'kadan baja') is unrendered, and baja combined with SUCC -nyjiku is unattested. All base words otherwise dict-verified: minya 'meat', wayjul 'cook', karrkay 'child' (noun homograph correctly used as reduplicated head), kaday 'come' (dict mistype transitive covered by errata #6).

suggested_fix:
Surface: 'Minya wayju, karrkay-karrkay kadanyjiku!' and trim the English to 'Cook the meat before the children come!' (dropping 'back', per pitfall 14's trim option, since baja + -nyjiku is unattested).

jungkalu (noun 'billycan', dict-attested adapted loan) and dumbarril (transitive-verb 'break, tear, rip') verified; [A 593] collocation confirmed. But karrkay is dictionary-glossed 'small one, child, young one' — gender-neutral 'child', never 'boy' (Patz interlinears also gloss it 'child'). English 'The boy' over-specifies gender relative to the Kuku; the dictionary's actual 'boy' words are dabal 'boys' and dingkar 'male, man, boy'. Minor translation-fidelity mismatch, not a Kuku error. (Homograph note: karrkay adj 'small' vs noun 'child' — noun use here is correct.)

Syntax of the successive construction is correct ([A 455] no-common-NP pattern: main imperative 'Minya waju' O-V + subordinate ABS subject karrkay-karrkay with kada-nyjiku), but the English 'come BACK' is not rendered: kada-nyjiku = 'come' only. Pitfall 14 requires an exponent for 'again/back', and 'come back' is specifically attested as kaday + baja ([A 218] 'Ngayu wawu kadanka baja' = 'I want to come back'; §11 'Nyulu kadanbaja?' 'Did he come back?'; elder gold 'kadan baja' x2). Secondary (orthography): errata ratified surface 'cook' = wayjul, so IMP surface should be wayju (words_used itself lists wayjul), though §0 allows waju-/wayju- variation.

suggested_fix:
Safest: trim the English to match — 'Cook the meat before the children come!' with kuku 'Minya wayju, karrkay-karrkay kadanyjiku!'. Alternative (keeps 'back'): 'Minya wayju, karrkay-karrkay kadanyjiku baja!' — but baja after -nyjiku is only analogically supported (attested after -nka in [A 218]), so prefer the English trim.

English demonstrative 'Those' has no Kuku exponent: bula dingkar back-translates as 'the two men / they-two men' (Patz glosses the pronoun+noun pattern bula ngamu as 'the TWO mothers', cheatsheet section 6, with no distal deixis). The batch's own convention renders English 'that/those/this' with yinya/yanyu (seq 27, 36, 39), so its absence here is a round-trip asymmetry beyond mere article/definiteness variation (spirit of pitfall 14: every English pointing/quantifying element needs an exponent). Dual number itself is correctly carried by bula.

Trim the English to 'The two men are talking to each other.' (preferred, keeps the attested Kuku intact); adding yinya would require an unattested demonstrative+3du-pronoun+noun NP order.

The Kuku is grammatically verified: [A 331] 'Jana dingkar kuni-wa-y' and [A 332] 'Bula kaya bija-wa-y' attest pronoun+noun S with reciprocal -wa-y, and Patz explicitly notes the dual pronoun is how speakers encode 'two acting on each other'; bula NOM + dingkar ABS (reciprocal = intransitive S) and S V order are correct; balka-wa-y attested (§10c). Minor defect: English 'Those' has no Kuku exponent (no yinya) — bula dingkar = 'the two men' (Patz translates [A 332] as 'The two dogs'); per the pitfall-14 principle, trim the English or supply the exponent.

suggested_fix:

The analysis glosses surface 'maraji' as swim.IMP, but maraji is a trisyllabic (and per Patz mariji-y likely -ji-derived) stem, so its IMP is -ka: marajika (Table 3.16 §10b; cf. attested julurriji-ka and this batch's own seq 26 wukurri-ka). As written, 'maraji' only parses as NONPAST (maraji-y with §2.5.2 y-deletion), and source-checking [A 432] shows kari + NONPAST is a DECLARATIVE negation ('He does not bathe in the river lest he drown'), not a prohibitive; prohibitives use kari + IMP ([A 436] 'Mayi kari waju', [A 437] 'Kari kaya kuliji karrba'). So surface and analysis contradict each other and the imperative English demands the IMP form. The second clause is verified correct: [A 437] '(yununy) bayka-nyji' + Patz's note that the A NP is stated in the subordinate clause — bilngkumu-ngku ERG:pt (potent threat animal, u-harmony) + yununy 2sg.ACC + bayka-nyji PRECAUT; wawubaja-nga LOC verbatim [A 432].

English 'come back' is rendered as plain kada-nyjiku 'come-SUCC' — the 'back' element has no Kuku exponent (pitfall 14). The language expresses 'come back' with baja/-baja on motion verbs (§15, [A 218] kadankabaja 'come back'; §11 Nyulu kadanbaja? 'Did he come back?'; elder gold kadan baja). Back-translation is 'Cook the meat just before the children come', not '...come back'. All other elements (meat, cook.IMP, children-plural via redup, 'before' via SUCC) round-trip fine.

suggested_fix:
Trim the English to match the Kuku: 'Cook the meat before the children come!' (safer than adding baja to a subordinate SUCC verb, which is unattested). Note also surface 'waju' vs dict spelling 'wayju' (errata: cook = wayjul) if the orthography lens has not already flagged it.

Content is everyday-safe (plain observation, no sacred moon-story framing), but the row is redundant: it is batch-002 seq 12 ('Wungar wandin', accepted — cited in this row's own evidence) with only the subject noun swapped, and this same batch's seq 50 micro-narrative opens with the verbatim 'Wungar wandin.' That yields three near-identical two-word 'X wandin' datapoints. Technically outside the letter of the near-duplicate rule (different frame label, subject noun differs), so not a fail, but the training-diversity value of this row is close to zero.

suggested_fix:
Replace with a different everyday intransitive_past that adds diversity, e.g. 'Kaba kadan.' — 'The rain came.' (anchored on attested [A] 'Kaba kaday' rain is coming), or expand seq 14 with a temporal/locational element so it is no longer a bare 'X wandin' clone.

Round-trip ambiguity: kariku is polysemous 'not at all / not yet' (cheatsheet §11 negation, Patz §3.9.2). Cold back-translation of 'Ngayu kariku dungay' can equally yield 'I'm not going at all', which does not round-trip to 'I'm not going yet' (different commitment about future going). Nothing else in the clause disambiguates the intended 'not yet' sense.

suggested_fix:
Keep the Kuku surface but annotate the evidence/analysis that kariku covers both 'not at all' and 'not yet' (Patz §3.9.2) so the pair is not trained as an exclusive 'not yet' exponent; ideally add a disambiguating counterpart pair (e.g. same Kuku with English 'I'm not going at all') or a temporal anchor in the English.

Everyday domestic content is elder-appropriate and safe, but the English side 'before the children come back' contains 'back' with no Kuku exponent — the Kuku has only kada-nyjiku 'just before (they) come'. Pitfall 14 (every English adverb needs an exponent or the English must be trimmed); elder gold renders 'came back' as 'kadan baja' (separate word baja), so 'back' is a real, expressible meaning that is silently dropped here.

suggested_fix:
Trim the English to 'Cook the meat before the children come!' (safest, keeps the [A 455] no-shared-NP successive frame clean). Alternatively express 'back' overtly on the Kuku side with baja, but only if a baja + -nyjiku combination can be positively attested.
