for guidance on the implementation of the TKF91 model. Earlier versions of
this work were presented at the Computational Phylogenetics and Language (Pre)history Workshop in
Rethymno, EvoLang 2024, and the UCLA Phonology Seminar. We are grateful to the audiences at
these three venues for their valuable feedback, and especially to Chundra Cathcart, Frederik
Hartmann, Simon Greenhill, and Gerhard Jäger for their thoughtful comments. We also thank the
three anonymous reviewers for insightful criticism, which substantially improved the paper.
