public_comment: "Waurá-Mehinaku (Uara, Aura, Mahinacu): Ethnologue has Mehináku (Mehinaco, Mahinaku, Minaco) as a separate language, but said to be “somewhat intelligible with Waurá”, and Waurá is reportedly “partially intelligible with
Mehináku”. Aikhenvald (1999a: 67) also has Waurá and Mehinaku as separate languages. ELCat would prefer to have a single entry for Mehinku and Waurá, but given the difference of opinion, both languages have separate entries.",
