Comment:
Loura (lur-lur) = 6a* (Vigorous).

E16/E17/E18/E19/E20/E21/E22/E23/E24/E25/E26/E27 has an entry for Laura [lur] as a separate language. But Laura is a “weinig verschillende dialect van Wajéwa” ( van der Velden, J. H. 1900: 57 ), i.e., a dialect little different from Wewewa [wew]. Laura [lur] is thus spurious as a separate entry, and, in any case, prohibitively inconstitent given that there are many more more divergent lects which do not have separate entries ( Leif Asplund 2010 ). Since the Laura [lur] entry mentions that it is “not intelligible with Kodi [kod]” it is possible that there is confusion with the nearby Gaura which is a very divergent dialect of Kodi [kod] which is otherwise not mentioned in any entry in E16/E17/E18/E19/E20/E21/E22/E23/E24/E25/E26/E27 (for locations, names and data, see Leif Asplund 2010 and Anak Agung Putu Putra 2007 ). See also: Kodi [kod], Wewewa [wew].
