Using an Auxiliary Verb for Negation Is Pretty Darn Rare
In Russian when you're talking about non-existence in rather than saying using the nominative you use a genitive form. I was surprised to find that using an auxiliary verb for negation is pretty darn rare. In the walls dataset 47 of 1,115 languages sets 4%. Now here's a question is that like four like not talking to language families or talking about each individual member of that language family. So if that's DP or the VP if you're going by you know Jim combining theory. No. That's true. Invading Sanskrit produced a new adjective with a prefix that's cognate with the A in apathetic and atheist and is further cognate with English on.
