There are small points in the annotation that one might consider to edit. For example the suffix is annotated with a translational gloss = there. It seems to be a Deixis marker. It would be interesting to annotated Remoteness. With the TCglosses on can distinguish between DIST and DIST2.

Likewise, the noun mɔmɔabaakpa has a possessive prefix; I feel to use the translational gloss their is not quite as useful as using POSS.3PL. Let's say one later would like to extract all the possessive expressions in Gikyode from the database. That could be more easily done when one has glossed all expressions of possession with POSS (no matter which person is involved).

Dear Hannes, Dear all,

I have now added the picture you pointed me too, and with your help adjusted the map. Eventually one might want to change the presentation of the language and of the additional important information from the discussion of the questions concerning the linguistic annotation. But it might be good to start collecting all on one page :)
