Johannes Balle’s Tunumiisut (east Greenlandic) wordlist
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The work examines the Tunumiisut (East Greenlandic) wordlist gathered by Johannes Balle (1889-1965) sometime in the first half of the 20th century. This little-known vocabulary, which includes equivalents in Kalaallisut (West Greenlandic) and translations into Danish, offers valuable data from a time when information on Greenlandic dialects was scarce and difficult to obtain. The present publication is a pioneering study. There is no previous scholarship on the wordlist, which exists in two copies held at the Royal Danish Library and the Danish Arctic Institute (Arktisk Institute). The author describes the historical context of Johannes Balle’s life and the peculiarities of the linguistic data as presented in the wordlist. The main part of the study is the Tunumiisut wordlist re-arranged according to English keywords for historical and comparative purposes. Extensive indices arranged in the more traditional alphabetical order allow the reader to navigate easily through Tunumiisut, Kalaallisut, Proto-Inuit-Yupik and Proto-Inuit reconstructions, all of them cross-referenced with the English keywords.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
