How a Word Crossed Borders
Work through invented word dossiers: classify borrowing journeys, match words to contact settings, order dated records, and judge which word histories are certain or debated.
The languages Tarvani and Lumeric, their words, ports, schools and records are all invented, so every answer can be worked out from the dossier given. No real word histories are claimed.
Your choices are summarized at the end, and any tasks with right answers are checked separately. Progress is kept in this browser only so you can resume.
