Austronesian cognates in Quechua part I: proto-oceanic disyllabic cognates in proto-Quechua

Empirical and theoretical studies have demonstrated that any two unrelated languages are extremely unlikely to have more than a handful of CVC lexical matches (phonological-cum-semantic), even under quite loose criteria. This paper shows 100 CVCV(C) matches between Proto-Oceanic (pOC) and the South American language Proto-Quechua (pQ), under strict criteria. Thirty-nine are under ultra-strict criteria (each pOC consonant restricted to one respective pQ consonant, and vowels indervarious restrictions); 13 of these score on a 100-meaning list, while the studies show that unrelated language almost certainly would not score at all. Reasons are cited for not attributing all the matches to borrowing. The conclusion therefor is that pQ and pOC are genetically related.
