I don't have your email address anymore, nor could I find a way to contact you here, so I couldn't ask this off-line.\r\n\r\nIn certain cases, one variety has a word, but the other doesn't. For example, one variety has pronouns for first-person-singular-masculine and first-person-singular-feminine. It does not have a generic first-person-singular that both men and women use. In contrast, the other variety recognizes a generic first-person-singular only. It does not distinguish whether a man or a woman is speaking. This is a major contrast, but I'm not sure how to designate it in Cog. Leave it blank?\r\n\r\nIn other cases, I don't have a word in one variety. The language most likely does have the word, but the recording wasn't clear, or maybe the collector simply forgot to ask it in one variety. I don't want Cog flagging this as a major contrast like I would in the pronoun example above. How do I differentiate between a missing word and a non-existent word?"}}
