to do list: - Transcribe frog story and Merap/Kayan origin story - Gloss the gospel of Luke in Merap - Figure out the weird mediopassive/causative syncretism in Merap

The problem is that I had used a small corpus to get sample sentences, and that wasn't really done in any methodological way other than scraping appendices of theses interviews—which contained a lot of conversational Javanese Indonesian data.

Like reflecting on this it means I gotta put things to higher standards just bc the effort and contribution I had made were kind of not giving my fullest. ...yet somehow my friend [ling professor back in Indonesia] said to just publish it (the proceedings one)

Ok so apparently I have 2 more articles in press, one as a proceedings of a conference I forgot I presented in and one as a coauthor bc I provided for some fieldwork data
