Here are documented one-to-many mappings in either direction for the language pair.
 
===Khasi to Wôpanâak===
 
kjat "foot/leg" => -ukhôt "leg", -seet "foot"
 
  
ngi "we (1st person plural pronoun)" => neenawun "we (exclusive)", keenawun "we (inclusive)"  This is reflective of a deeper grammatical ambiguity with regards to first person plural forms throughout the languages.

meequn "feather, pen" => sner "feather", khulom "pen", khulom-sner "feather pen"
 
 
 
keesuk "sky, a day" => sngi "day, sun", bneng "sky"
 
 
 
==wam-kha Evaluation==
 
Current WER is 93.75%.  Current PER is 93.75%.
 
12 out of 15 stems are translating correctly.  The remaining stems are mô and weeqayach.  The first is not translating because the Wôpanâak copula does not currently have a root lemma, and the second is due to a difference in the way the two texts realize "Let there be light" - in Wôpanâak this is expressed with a single verb, while in Khasi it is closer to "let light be".
