Comment:
Pukaunu (NOCODE_Pukaunu-NOCODE_Pukaunu) = 6b (Threatened).

E16/E17/E18/E19/E20/E21/E22/E23/E24/E25/E26/E27/E28 includes Pukaunu (aka Muhang) in its Lamaholot [slp] entry. However, the language of Pukaunu is far too distant to be intellgible to other (West) Lamaholot varieties ( Gregorius Keraf 1978: 14-15 , 448) and thus merits its own entry.

E16/E17/E18/E19/E20/E21/E22/E23/E24/E25/E26/E27/E28 includes Namu(t) in its Rembong [reb] entry. However, the language of Namut is not intellgible to Rembong [reb] or Ngad'a [nxg] ( Dendy Sugono 2008 , Rodney Needham 1985 and p.c. Leif Asplund 2020). Comparison of lexical data confirms this and the closest variety to Namut is Nginamanu( Dendy Sugono and Hasan Alwi and Hans Lapoliwa and Buha Aritonang and Non Martis and Hidayatul Astar and Wati Kurniawati and Ferry Feirizal 2002 ) together with which it may then be said to form a separate Namut-Nginamanu language. See also: Lamaholot [slp], Namut-Nginamanu [NOCODE_Namut-Nginamanu], Ngad'a [nxg], Rembong-Wangka [reb].
