MovaSources
The manual is written in our own words. The works below are where its facts were checked. Public-domain grammars and open-access papers are the base. Works under share-alike or non-commercial terms are cited and paraphrased, never copied. Copyrighted reference grammars are known to us only by their cards, and no claim rests on them. Each work has a card in the Elamur Research library under its slug. The chapters that cite a work are listed after it, so each source links back to where it is used.
