This paper assesses the role of borrowings in two different approaches to linguistic phylogenetics: Traditional qualitative analyses of lexemes, and quantitative computational analysis of cognacy. It problematises the assumption that loanwords can be excluded altogether from datasets of lexical cognacy. It discusses two exemplary lexemes with a limited regional or topological distribution, which have been argued to be borrowings into intermediate…
