Hypothesis
The models of change of age- and sex- distinctions of Austronesian sibling terminologies will have independent evolutionary trajectories.
Note
"The models of change used here trace the independent histories of the age- and sex- distinctions, and do not rely on typologies. Further, they are independent of any particular phylogenetic hypothesis about prehistory." (315)
