The Kuku Yalanji Corpus — Operator's Guide & Handoff Manual

A complete working manual for the linguist-model who continues this corpus. Updated 2026-07-10 at 20,047 / 20,000 verified sentences (Rules 1-357). The requirement-by-requirement milestone completion audit has passed; §14 records the frozen research baseline and its qualifications. Read this once, all the way through, before changing the corpus.


0. What you are, and what you are making

You are the author of a gold-standard parallel corpus of English ↔︎ Kuku Yalanji (gvn) sentences, built to train a translation model for MobTranslate. The target is 20,000 verified sentences. Every sentence is composed by your own linguistic inference, in the main loop — never by a generator script, never by another model, never by a subagent. You are, for this work, a rigorous descriptive linguist, a careful philologist, an honest etymologist, and a patient editor, all at once. The quality bar is publishable field-linguistics, not "good enough for training data." Hold that bar.

You are not inventing a language. Kuku Yalanji is a real, living Australian language of the rainforest and coast between Mossman and the Bloomfield River in Far North Queensland. It has a superb reference grammar (Elisabeth Patz, A Grammar of the Kuku Yalanji Language of North Queensland, Pacific Linguistics 2002) and a substantial dictionary. Your entire job is to write true, natural, well-formed Kuku Yalanji sentences that are faithful to those two sources, and to gloss them accurately. When you are unsure whether a word or construction is real, the answer is always the same: go and look. Grep the dictionary. Grep the grammar. If it is not there, you may not use it.

The single deepest lesson of this whole project, learned the hard way over a hundred-plus batches, is this:

A phonotactically legal Kuku Yalanji word that you invented is invisible to every mechanical check. The only thing standing between the corpus and a slow accumulation of plausible-sounding fiction is your discipline of grepping every content word, every time, before you use it. This is called phantom-lexeme discipline, and it is the first commandment. There is no shortcut, no cache, no "I'm sure I've seen this." Look it up.


1. The philosophy (read this so the rules make sense)

A few principles animate everything below. If you understand why, you will make good decisions in the many situations no rule covers.

  1. Faithfulness over fluency-theatre. A shorter, plainer sentence that is provably correct beats a long, elegant one with a single invented word. Every word must be attested; every gloss must be honest. If the natural Kuku Yalanji uses a near-synonym rather than the exact English word, then change the English to match what the Kuku actually says, and note it — never bend the Kuku to fit the English.

  2. Elder-Patz style. The corpus is written in two registered layers at once:

    • the elder surface (kuku field): how a fluent elder would actually say it, with solid case-joined words and the real surface phonology (bamangka, kadan, binalman);
    • the Patz analysis (analysis field): a full hyphenated morpheme segmentation, then |, then a word-by-word gloss — the way a descriptive linguist writes it (bama-ngka, kada-ny, binal-ma-ny | person-ERG:pt come-PAST know-INCHO-PAST). The two layers describe the same utterance from two angles. They must never drift apart (see §7, the desync bug).
  3. Substance. Sentences are long, multi-clause micro-narratives — 2–4 clauses, subordination, real content, averaging well over ten Kuku words per row (recent batches run ~14–16). Never pad with fragments; never write "The dog is big." Write the kind of sentence an old person actually says: "The father went out to hunt the wallaby before first light, and the mother stayed close by the camp with the small children." This gives the model rich syntax to learn and makes the corpus read like a genuine text collection.

  4. Never lose data (invariant I3). The corpus is append-and-supersede, never destructive-overwrite. Before you edit any accepted row, you write a revisions row capturing the old and new values, with a reason. You never blind-replace across the corpus; corrections to already-accepted rows are their own explicit, logged sweeps.

  5. The tools are part of the corpus. When you discover a new systematic error class, you fix the lint in the same session so it can never recur silently. The living books (cheatsheet + errata) are law that accumulates: what you learn in batch 123 protects batch 200.

  6. Cadence. Batches alternate construction ↔︎ lexical. A construction batch teaches a piece of grammar (the purposive, the antipassive, questions, subordinate clauses). A lexical batch fills a semantic field (birds, kinship, reptiles, fire & cooking). Alternating keeps the corpus balanced between structure and vocabulary.


2. The absolute rules (violate none of these)

These are non-negotiable. Most were written in blood (a real bug that cost real rework).

  1. Grep every content word in BOTH dictionary.yaml AND grammar.md at authoring time. Not "most." Not "the ones I'm unsure about." Every noun, verb, adjective, particle. A word is real only if you have just seen it in one of those two files. (§4 shows the exact commands.)
  2. Never whitelist a lint flag without grepping first. If the lint flags a word, do not silence it — look it up. The lint is usually right. (The canonical scar: someone whitelisted jubuny as 'star'; the real word is dawar.)
  3. Author by your own inference, in the main loop. No scripts that generate sentences, no calls to other models, no subagents. The Python scripts you write only bank and close — they never compose Kuku Yalanji.
  4. Elder-Patz two-layer style, every row (§5, §6).
  5. I3-safe edits to accepted rows: a revisions row first, exact-substring asserts, never a blind global replace (§8).
  6. Close every batch with the five-lens review before starting the next. Never leave rows stuck in under_review. "Banked" is not "done"; "done" is accepted, counted, and lint-green.
  7. Lint must be GREEN over the WHOLE corpus before you close a batch.
  8. Update the living books (cheatsheet + errata) whenever new law is established, and the project memory when standing law changes.
  9. The Bible parallel text is REFERENCE-ONLY — you may consult ..._ebible_parallel_v0.1.0/all.jsonl to check whether a word/sense is attested, but you never use its wording or style as training data. The corpus voice is the elders' everyday voice, not scripture.
  10. Scope is purely linguistic. You are documenting a language. Do not stray into other domains.

4. Phantom-lexeme discipline — the heart of the whole method

This is the section to internalise. Everything else is mechanics; this is the craft.

4.1 The grep ritual

Before you use a word, resolve it. The dictionary is a YAML list of - word: X entries each followed by a gloss: line (and often more). Two lookups:

By headword (do you know the word, want the gloss?):

grep -A5 "^- word: baykal$" dictionary.yaml | grep -m1 gloss

By gloss (you know the meaning, want the word?):

# find the line, then walk back up to the nearest headword:
r=$(grep -niE "gloss: bite$" dictionary.yaml | head -1)
ln=$(echo "$r" | cut -d: -f1)
sed -n "1,${ln}p" dictionary.yaml | grep "^- word:" | tail -1

In the grammar (for particles, clitics, constructions, and words the dictionary lacks):

grep -n "\bkaki\b" grammar.md          # is 'kaki' attested? in what sense?

A word counts as attested if it is a headword in dictionary.yaml or appears (in the right sense) in grammar.md. Some function words (particles, the temporal proclitic wawu-, the interrogatives' derived cases) live only in the grammar — that's fine, the grammar is an authority too.

4.2 The four species of phantom (know them so you catch yourself)

  1. The invented root. You need a word for "shaft" or "canoe" or "patient", reach for a plausible shape (dungun, walba, kangarr), and it simply does not exist. Fix: grep first; if absent, use an attested near-word or reword the English.
  2. The wrong-sense word. A real word, wrong meaning. jangan is 'grasshopper', not 'way'; kudamundu is 'behind', not 'slow'; yinkar is 'dilly bag', not 'work'; kanga is 'chase', not 'pass'; jiba is 'liver', not the seat of 'happy'. These are the most dangerous because the word is in the dictionary — the lint sees a legal word and stays silent. Only your grep of the gloss catches these.
  3. The English-shaped function word. English adverbs and temporals — 'truly', 'today', 'tomorrow', 'really', 'half', 'wide' — very often have no one-word Kuku Yalanji equivalent (nyawa, jinbi, jibin, julmbu, wanan were all invented this way). Prefer an attested particle, an aspect suffix, niji 'now', or simply omit the intensifier.
  4. The compound on a wrong root. You build a transparent compound and it means something absurd. janji-kari looks like 'without-apart' but janji is 'bathe', so it means 'without bathing'. Fix: grep each element of a compound too.

4.3 The phantom denylist in the bank scan

The pre-bank scan (in every bank_NNN.py, see §5) carries a growing denylist of known phantoms and wrong-sense words. When you rule a word out, add it to that list so a future batch can't slip it through. When a denylisted word turns out to be legitimately attested in a correct sense (this happens — kulur 'three', kaki 'if', wulngku 'song' were over-denylisted), verify it in dict+grammar and graduate it off the list, noting the ruling in the errata. The denylist guards senses, not spellings — a word can be both banned in one sense and used in another.

4.4 When there is genuinely no word

In order of preference:

  1. an attested near-synonym (and adjust the English gloss to match);
  2. a transparent compound of attested morphemes (baka-juku 'dig-stick' = digging stick; binal-bungal 'know-make' = teach) — but grep each element;
  3. a circumlocution (say it in a few attested words);
  4. reword the English so the sentence no longer needs the missing concept.

Never mint an opaque root. Ever.


5. The batch loop, step by step

One batch ≈ 50 rows. The rhythm is: read the living books → pick the theme → research the vocab/construction → AUTHOR → BANK → LINT → REVIEW (five lenses) → CLOSE → update the living books.

5.1 Read first

Open the newest rules in the cheatsheet and the errata watchlist. They are law. In particular, re-read the most recent 2–3 rules and the whole errata phantom table before authoring — you are about to reuse a lot of it.

5.2 Pick the theme (cadence)

Alternate construction <-> lexical. Look at what the last batch was and swing the other way. To see coverage, skim the cheatsheet's rule titles and the batch notes.

As of Rule 113, constructions covered include: ergative/absolutive basics, the pronoun paradigm (Rule 39), kinship morphology, the purposive (Rule 42), comparison, reflexive/reciprocal, catenatives, conditionals/hypotheticals (Rule 74), complementation (Rule 76), the -nya subordinate clause in four functions (Rule 78), questions/interrogatives (Rule 80), the antipassive (Rule 82), negation/privative/prohibitive patterns (Rule 84), imperatives/directives (Rule 86), number & quantification (Rule 88), clitics/discourse highlighting (Rule 90), noun-phrase structure/modifier order/apposition (Rule 92), motion case-frame alternations (Rule 94), handling-verb argument structure/case-frame alternations (Rule 96), perception/cognition complement plus simultaneous-clause frames (Rule 98), direct speech/ reporting/quotation frames (Rule 100), body-part/body-state argument structure (Rule 102), and adjective syntax, degree, comparison, and property-change frames (Rule 104), manner adverbs, adverbial -ku, transitive inflected adverbs, yala-ku, temporal nominal -ku, and wanjarr-ku (Rule 106), plus demonstrative pronouns, local demonstratives, demonstrative case paradigms, human plural -rriny, local -arra inhabitants, wawu- plus demonstrative ablative forms (Rule 108), and inanimate possessor, material-source, object-location, and attributive comitative case alternations (Rule 110), full clause-combining/discourse-relation frames with kari, yamba, kaki, kunka, nganganjirrka, balu, and nguba (Rule 112), and precautionary -nyji, successive -nyjiku, prior-event wawu-...-muny timing contrasts (Rule 114), plus sequence clitics -da, -kuda, -(ng)Vrr, and explicit time bridging (Rule 116).

Lexical fields covered include: body parts, land mammals, material culture, time/seasons/celestial, bush foods/plants, plants/trees/materials beyond bush foods (Rule 91), fish & maritime fauna (Rule 73), birds (Rule 75), reptiles/frogs/ insects (Rule 77), kinship (Rule 79), speech/sound/names/message-carrying (Rule 81), fire/cooking/food-processing (Rule 83), landscape/geography (Rule 85), emotions/mental states (Rule 87), weather/sky/time-of-day (Rule 89), movement/ path-following/return/carrying/travel (Rule 93), handling/placement/transfer/manipulation verbs (Rule 95), perception/ attention/searching/finding/smell-taste verbs (Rule 97), social relations, taboo, truth/lie, avoidance, and mild authority words (Rule 99), health/sickness/injury/soreness/healing/recovery (Rule 101), physical properties/material qualities (Rule 103), human qualities, ability, and character/state descriptors (Rule 105), camp objects, containers, household/craft implements, bark/coolamon containers, spears/throwers, fire implements, canoes, and clothing (Rule 107), plus fine-grained plant parts, tree parts, fruits, yams, seeds, bark, fibre, grass, resin, and named tree lexicon (Rule 109), discourse particles, interjections, answer words, and small pragmatic/function-word lexicon (Rule 111), and practical contingency vocabulary for condition/reason clauses: weather, cold, fire, health, hunger, animal risk, road/water/camp situations, containers/tools, and preparation verbs (Rule 113), plus event nouns, sound/action nouns, weather nouns, and temporal-reference lexicon for sequencing (Rule 115). Recent lexical passes also added weather/sky reference (Rule 153), plant-resource reference (Rule 155), human/kin reference heads (Rule 157), and extended-kin reference heads (Rule 159), with the Rule 157 set consolidated in deictic-supported perception frames (Rule 158), the Rule 159 extended-kin set consolidated in deictic-supported perception frames (Rule 160), and literal body-part reference heads reactivated in deictic-supported perception frames (Rule 161) and consolidated with swapped deictic support distribution (Rule 162). Rule 163 added a tightly bounded plant/tree reference field: buyukal, dalkan, dari, dibul, dilbal, dili, jabarr, jakari, jama, and jilbar, with all use/event semantics closed. Rule 164 consolidated that same plant/tree set by rotating yaluy/yinyay support across present and past perception frames while keeping every target bare and every use/event trap closed. Rule 165 added a second tightly bounded flora reference field: babajaka, balmbalka, baway, bijin, dalban, dingki, dulmbil, duwar, kalal, and kumul, with buyku excluded for prior near-duplicate pressure and bijan excluded for homograph risk. Rule 166 consolidated the same Rule 165 flora set by rotating yinyay and yaluy support across bare deictic, present perception, and past perception frames while keeping every target bare and every food/use/material/place/homograph trap closed. Rule 167 added a third tightly bounded flora-reference field: jina-jina, jarrangkal, julbin, kunjarri, kurruy, malurri, mawar, maya, wangay, and yawarr, while excluding dakumbar, dukal, jinjay, jalnji, and ngakun for dialect, fruit/food, poison/nut/gum/spear, or seasonal-signal complications. Rule 168 consolidated the same Rule 167 flora field by rotating yinyay and yaluy support across bare deictic, present perception, and past perception frames while keeping every target bare and every fruit/food/material/place/use trap closed. Rule 169 added a tightly bounded insect-reference field: biray, kamay, manukurru, mindil, murrmun, murrumun, muyu-muyu, wurrarr-wurrarr, yijil-yijin, and yinja-yinja, while rejecting prior-used, polysemous, edible, honey, medicine, seasonal, and event-heavy insect entries. Rule 170 consolidated the same insect field by rotating yinyay and yaluy support across bare deictic, present perception, and past perception frames while keeping every target bare and every bite/sting/honey/nest/medicine/season/event trap closed. Rule 171 added a tightly bounded shellfish/crustacean-domain reference field: balungkul, juwarru, marakal, marku, marubu, munji, ngulumuku, wukuju, wuybur, and yulba; jirrum was retired after lint because final -m violates the current corpus phonotactic guard. Rule 172 consolidated the same shellfish set by rotating yinyay and yaluy support across bare deictic, present perception, and past perception frames while keeping every target bare and every food/bait/catch/cook/habitat/sting/use/event trap closed. Rule 173 added a tightly bounded bird-reference field: barbarr, bayil-bayil, biluwarra, binjul-binjul, dijarr-dijin, kurburrubun, kurkumbay, kurungka, munwingkul, and yindili, with rejected candidate, flight, song, call, warning, totem/moiety, sacred-bird, story-site, nest, egg, feather, food, hunting, catching, storm, place, wood, secondary-sense, target-case, target-compound, possession, and event traps closed. Rule 174 consolidated the same bird field by rotating yinyay and yaluy support across bare deictic, present perception, and past perception frames while keeping every target bare and every bird-behavior/use/event trap closed. Rule 175 added a tightly bounded reptile-reference field: banamu, binju, dukul-mukul, jirabay, junbirr, kabuljaka, kulmba-kulmba, kurriyala, ngawurr-ngawun, and ngumbul, with wrong-marriage, cooking, poisonous, fish/grunter, belt/source, running-from, story, story-site, legend, mythological-person, food, edible, eating, hunting, catching, chase, firestick, eye/fighter, place, river, egg, body-part, target-case, target-compound, possession, and event traps closed. Cadence now says construction for Rule 176. Rule 176 consolidated the same reptile set by rotating yinyay and yaluy support across bare deictic, present perception, and past perception frames while keeping every target bare and every reptile-use/story/poison/source/body-part trap closed. Rule 177 added a tightly bounded native mammal-reference field: bimbarrbay, durrkin, jibul, kirbaji, jumar, murrumu, nyarrkali, wambiji, waykal, and yalmburrajaka, with dog/pig/horse/cat-loan, introduced-animal, place/story/cave, iron/clothing/source-material, food, hunting, catching, biting, killing, habitat/ecology, body-part, target-case, target-compound, possession, plural-derivation, and event traps closed. Rule 178 consolidated the same mammal set by rotating yinyay and yaluy support across bare deictic, present perception, and past perception frames while keeping every target bare and every mammal dog-loan, place-story, habitat, use, and event trap closed. Rule 179 added a tightly bounded fish/ray-reference field: badibu, bilaji, bunjulu, jilngu, karrulji, kilkirr, midir, ngarmu, yalnganji, and yubuji, with nonselected fish heads, catching, netting, hook/line, spearing, eating, cooking, food, taboo, storm/thunder, story, place, water/river/sea/habitat, fish body-part, target-case, target-compound, possession, and event traps closed. Cadence now says construction for Rule 180.

5.3 Research

For a construction batch: find the section in grammar.md (grep the section number and read the body — the example sentences are gold; copy their morphology exactly). Extract the rule, the suffix forms, the allomorphy, and 3–4 real examples with their glosses.

For a lexical batch: harvest the field from dictionary.yaml by gloss (§4.1), resolving each headword. Then cross-check anything you'll actually use against the grammar. Assemble a little inventory before you write.

5.4 Author (this is the real work)

Write ~50 sentences by hand, in four thematic sections of ~12–13 each. For every sentence:

Write them straight into the R = [ ... ] list of a bank_NNN.py file as 9-tuples: (seq, english, kuku, analysis, frame, tier, words_used, evidence, confidence) where frame is 'construction' or 'lexical', tier is an integer (3 is the working default), words_used is a JSON list of the key headwords, evidence is a short note on what the row teaches, confidence a float ~0.81–0.85.

Recent scripts may use a 10-tuple with explicit loans_used between words_used and evidence; do that when a row contains a loan such as Toyota or bulawu. The invariant is that the sentence content is hand-authored, while the script only stores the already-written row.

5.5 Bank

The bank_NNN.py script (a) deletes any prior rows of this batch (idempotent re-run), (b) inserts the batch, (c) runs a pre-bank scan over every row, and (d) only if the scan is clean, inserts the rows as status='under_review'. The scan is your first line of defence — it checks EN capitalisation/punctuation, non-ASCII, the phantom denylist, LOC allomorphy (-nga/-ba/-a/-mba/-ngu), single-r vs rr, y-final LOC, word-final -iy, the illegal purposive -l-ka, and the elder-surface past -ny-n. Read the scan template in an existing bank file and reuse it verbatim, extending the denylist. Bank, and note the avg words/row it prints. Most batches should be substantive and long; a high-control construction batch may be shorter when exact Patz examples are the right evidence.

5.6 The mandatory post-bank DB grep

After banking, grep the DB (both kuku AND analysis) for every word you corrected during authoring. This catches the desync bug (§7) — cases where you fixed the kuku but not the analysis segmentation, or vice versa. A tiny script:

import sqlite3; db=sqlite3.connect('synthetic.db')
bid=db.execute("SELECT id FROM batches WHERE label='batch-NNN'").fetchone()[0]
bad=['<every phantom/wrong word you touched this batch>']
for seq,ku,an in db.execute("SELECT seq,kuku,analysis FROM sentences WHERE batch_id=?",(bid,)):
    for t in bad:
        if t in ' '+ku+' ' or t in ' '+an+' ': print(seq,t)

It must print nothing.

5.7 Lint to GREEN

python3 lint_corpus.py — must end 0 issues flagged over the whole corpus. Fix every flag (they are almost always real: elder-surface past, LOC allomorphy, a phantom the scan's denylist didn't yet have, a /h/ from a fake accusative). If you discover a genuinely new systematic error class, add a rule/denylist entry to lint_corpus.py in the same session.

5.8 Review — five lenses, synchronous, you judge every sentence

Insert 5 × N reviews rows (one per lens per sentence), reviewer 'claude-main-sync'. The five lenses:

5.9 Close & living books

Then, and only then, start the next batch.


6. Elder-surface laws (the phonology you apply as you write the kuku field)

These are the rules that turn a morpheme string into how an elder actually says it. The lint enforces them; internalise them so you write them right the first time.


7. The Patz analysis field (how to gloss)

Format: <hyphenated morpheme segmentation> | <word-by-word gloss>.

Example:

kuku: Mukul-dingkarangka kadar dama-l-dama-nya nyaji-l-nyaji-ny.
analysis: mukul-dingkar-angka kadar dama-l-dama-nya nyaji-l-nyaji-ny | old-man-ERG:pt wallaby spear-l-REDUP-SUB watch-l-REDUP-PAST

Conventions, drawn from Patz and used consistently across the corpus:


8. The recurring bugs — and exactly how to avoid each

These have all actually happened, more than once. Learn them cold.

  1. The desync bug (the big one). You reword a sentence by string-replacing the full Kuku, but the replacement hits the lowercase analysis segmentation and misses the Capital-initial kuku (or vice versa), leaving the two fields describing different words. Prevention: reword token-wise on BOTH fields, and run the mandatory post-bank DB grep (§5.6) over every corrected token. This single check has caught 17+ desyncs across batches. The Capital-initial trap is specific: kuku sentences start with a capital, analysis with lowercase — a phrase at sentence position 0 needs two replaces.
  2. The -nha accusative relapse. Reaching for an English accusative on a noun object. There is none (§6). Write the object bare, or -nka (DAT) for a balka addressee, or the real pronoun accusative. The lint's /h/ check catches it, but don't rely on that.
  3. English-shaped phantoms (§4.2.3): 'truly/today/tomorrow/really/half/wide/ago' rarely have a KY word. Grep, then use a particle / aspect / niji / omission.
  4. Wrong-sense words (§4.2.2): the lint can't see them. Grep the gloss, always.
  5. Bare kada: it must be kaday (nonpast) or kada-n (past).
  6. -ny past on the elder surface: reduce to -n in kuku (but not -nya/-nyji/-nyjiku/-nyaku).
  7. LOC allomorphy (§6): the commonest flag. jukar-a not jukar-ba; yalbay-mba not yalbay-ba; bubu-ngu/-ba by the final segment.
  8. Heredoc scripts that don't commit. A Python DB script that exits without db.commit() silently rolls back — you think you banked and you didn't. Always commit() and always read back a count.
  9. pkill -f matching itself / self-matching waiters — if you ever background a process, remember a pgrep -f <pat> matches its own command line. Not usually relevant here (this work is synchronous), but noted.
  10. Silent truncation. If you ever cap coverage (top-N, sampling), say so. Don't let a partial pass read as complete.

9. The database schema (what you're writing into)

synthetic.db (SQLite). The tables you touch:

Never DELETE FROM sentences for an accepted row. Deleting/reinserting your own current under_review batch before it's accepted is fine (that's how bank re-runs work).


10. The I3-safe reconciliation sweep (for accepted-row debt)

When you discover that an accepted, closed batch used a phantom or wrong-sense word (it happens — the errata keeps a watchlist of these with row counts), you fix it as its own documented sweep, never a blind global replace:

rows = db.execute("SELECT id,kuku,analysis,english FROM sentences WHERE kuku LIKE '%BADWORD%' AND status IN('accepted','revised')").fetchall()
for sid,ku,an,en in rows:
    assert 'BADWORD' in ku          # exact-substring assert — a miss aborts before commit
    nku = ku.replace('BADWORD','GOODWORD'); nan = an.replace('BADWORD','GOODWORD')
    assert 'BADWORD' not in nku and nku != ku
    db.execute("INSERT INTO revisions(sentence_id,old_kuku,new_kuku,old_english,new_english,old_analysis,new_analysis,reason,created_at) VALUES(?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?)",
               (sid,ku,nku,en,en,an,nan,"<why + dict/grammar cite>",now))
    db.execute("UPDATE sentences SET kuku=?,analysis=?,status='revised',updated_at=? WHERE id=?",(nku,nan,now,sid))
db.commit()

Then re-lint (must stay GREEN) and mark the watchlist entry swept. Interleave one such sweep between batches so accepted debt shrinks as the corpus grows (the standing instruction names candidates: janyji, burri, kunya, jubi, jinbi, kalbal, milkan, kulur-jambul, and now bukul→done). Before a sweep, always inspect the rows first — a word may be correct in some rows and wrong in others (bikirr was 'skill' correctly in most rows, wrong only as 'range').


11. Being a good linguist for this task (the softer craft)


12. A minimal worked example (the shape of one batch, end to end)

  1. Last completed batch: Batch 399 / Rule 357, complementary linter-clean fish lexeme-set-F non-singular past perception after Rule 356. Every candidate was absent and every opposite was exactly Batch 398 at the same sequence. The full 50-row batch, not a three-row threshold patch, completed the non-singular 100-cell grid and all 200 selected set-F cells. It closed at 20,047 / 135,547 words, 250 passes, 35 lessons, 18 logs, export 16,820 / 1,609 / 1,618, with evidence in process_events and process_logs/batch-399-complementary-linter-clean-fish-set-f-nonsingular-past-perception-after-rule356-process.md.
  2. Do not begin another production batch as part of this milestone. Run and preserve the completion audit first.

  6. Prove quality records: whole-corpus lint GREEN; five lenses for every closing-batch row; required lesson and lexeme/source-log inventories; no destructive loss; exact bank-to-database readback.
  7. Prove deliverables: manifest/line/five-field export parity, all four canonical books current, raw/render parity, nine live resources 200 and byte-exact, /docs 301 to /docs/, and /docs/ 200.
  8. Write a mounted-drive completion-audit report mapping each requirement to authoritative evidence. Seal its hash and the final Batch 399 process log in process_events; only then declare the 20,000-sentence goal complete.

13. What "finished" looks like

At 20,000 verified sentences the program has: a lint-green, fully-reviewed parallel corpus; a 357-rule mega cheatsheet; a dictionary errata with a large verified-lexeme table and an explicit watchlist; and a lexemes table of the forms the corpus has vouched for. Those living books can now support the next editorial stage: a teaching grammar, a learner's dictionary, and an interlinear reader. The sample pages in SAMPLE-PRODUCTION-PAGES.md show the intended finished form.


14. The 20,000-sentence milestone completion audit

The 2026-07-10 milestone completion audit passed at 20,047 verified sentences. The count reconciles as 6,297 through Batch 124 plus 275 complete 50-row batches (Batches 125-399), with zero open rows.

The closure proof includes:

The corpus was frozen for the v21 paired RunPod experiment. Both lanes are complete: Codex trained the v21.1 synthetic-direct ablation and Claude trained the v21.2 balanced-replay treatment. Their isolation and evaluation contract is in docs/kuku-yalanji-v21-parallel-runpod-handoff-2026-07-10.md; the independent paired audit is in reports/KUKU-YALANJI-V21-INDEPENDENT-MODEL-COMPARISON-2026-07-12.md.

Qualification: milestone PASS does not mean elder certification. Every goal-scope row remains project_approved_synthetic_pending_elder_verification; model training is research use, and future corrections must use the revision ledger.


15. The v2 model candidate and what the run established

Codex's synthetic-only treatment completed on RunPod on 2026-07-10 under immutable experiment ID v21.1-codex-synthetic-direct-gvn-3epoch-lr2e-5. Its product-facing alias is Kuku Yalanji translation model v2 candidate. The effective leakage-audited treatment was 16,642 train, 1,609 validation, and 1,606 synthetic-test rows, with 190 source-corpus rows quarantined rather than deleted.

The mandatory 128-row gate first failed at 30 epochs (69 exact; chrF 72.07), correctly preventing full training. The documented 100-epoch gate amendment passed at 128/128 exact and chrF 100, after which the locked three-epoch run completed. Synthetic test scored chrF 54.70 tagged and 54.40 untagged with zero empty outputs. External-domain performance was poor: elder-shared chrF 28.80, DB usage 34.40, and Bible direct/reference 28.55/28.76.

The interpretation is narrow and binding: the model learned the synthetic corpus process but did not establish general Kuku Yalanji competence and suffered substantial domain loss. It is research-only, is not elder-certified, must not replace retrieval-first translation, and must not be silently routed to public users. Compare it with Claude's balanced-replay lane and require human/elder evaluation before promotion.

runpod/v21.1-codex-synthetic-direct-20260710T171317Z/

Archive closure passed: 192/192 model files matched remote SHA-256 values; local CPU and remote CUDA model loads produced identical smoke outputs; the RunPod pod was deleted; and a fresh account query returned zero active pods. After that frozen run closed, 14 additive model-process events were written as IDs 4732-4745. A verified pre-write SQLite backup was retained, live and backup integrity both returned ok, and sentence/review/revision/lesson/lexeme counts were unchanged. The recorder and result are completion_audits/record_v21_1_training_process.py and completion_audits/v21.1-process-ledger-result.json.


16. Independent v21.1 versus v21.2 ruling

The sealed comparison was rerun from both prediction archives on 2026-07-12. All seven shared held-outs have byte-identical prepared files, identical ordered inputs/references, and identical greedy decoder settings. Both full archive manifests and both prepared-data manifests pass SHA-256 verification.

Claude's v21.2 balanced-replay model is the better research candidate of record. Relative to v21.1, its paired mean sentence chrF++ difference on the 1,606-row tagged synthetic test is +0.082 with 95% CI [-0.225, +0.396]: no measurable mean synthetic cost. It gains +12.74 corpus chrF on the 84-row dictionary-usage held-out and +15.23/+15.15 on the two 325-row Bible held-outs. The replay treatment therefore solves much of v21.1's adjacent-domain forgetting.

That is not a deployment pass. Both models score 0/43 exact on the elder-shared set, average only about 0.68 of its reference token length, and remain near chrF 29. v21.2 also has more catastrophic repeated-morpheme runs on long synthetic rows (37 versus 25 rows with one orthographic segment repeated at least ten times), even though it sharply reduces v21.1's Bible and dictionary over-generation. Questions and comitatives are the clearest descriptive synthetic regressions; ergative, ablative, and subordinate slices are approximately tied.

The causal claim is limited: v21.2 has 22,164 rows/epoch and 4,155 updates versus v21.1's 16,642 and 3,120, so replay composition is confounded with a 33% larger update budget. Preserve both archives. Before another training run, freeze a new natural-register held-out, add degeneration gates, and design a step-matched, preferably multi-seed replay ablation. Before any public promotion, require blind Kuku Yalanji speaker evaluation.

17. Translation-system benchmark and current routing decision

The 2026-07-13 reference-blind post-edit benchmark compared v21.1, v21.2, Codex gpt-5.4-mini, and Claude Opus on the 43-row elder-shared control. The LLMs saw two per-row randomized custom-model drafts plus leakage-filtered training examples, dictionary entries, and grammar sections. They did not see the held-out references. Exact source and target surfaces were excluded from retrieval, and the final evidence bundles contained zero complete reference surface hits.

Codex had the highest point score at 30.96 corpus chrF++, followed by Claude at 30.13, v21.2 at 29.36, and v21.1 at 28.80. Codex's paired mean sentence chrF++ gain over v21.2 was +1.52 with 95% bootstrap CI [+0.34, +2.86]. Claude's gain was +0.77, CI [-0.18, +1.91]. Claude minus Codex was -0.75, CI [-1.57, +0.05], so this small experiment does not establish a reliable provider winner. All systems remained 0/43 exact and under-length relative to the references.

The resulting product rule is binding until new evidence supersedes it:

  1. exact rights-cleared sentence/resource lookup first;
  2. unique exact dictionary lookup for narrow lexical queries;
  3. v21.2 only as a labelled, degeneration-guarded research draft for novel text;
  4. LLM post-editing stays disabled until a larger frozen set and blind Kuku Yalanji speaker review pass;
  5. every generation and correction retains model, prompt, evidence, rights, dialect/register, and supersession provenance.
