Comment:
Kodi (kod-kod) = 5* (Developing).

Garo (exonym: Gaura), is a variety of west Sumba counted as a third dialect of Kodi [kod] in E16/E17/E18/E19/E20/E21/E22/E23/E24/E25/E26/E27/E28. However, all reports suggest a lack of inherent intelligibility between Garo and Kodi ( Ghanggo Ate, Yustinus 2020: 174 , Joseph Lovestrand 2021: 43 and p.c. Leif Asplund 2022) and the lexicostatistical figures are more consistent with two different languages ( Leif Asplund 2010: 9 , Gasser, Emily 2014 ). See also: Kodi [kod].
