+Only about 120 word roots can be reconstructed for Proto-Oronaic, if every reconstructed word for the proto-language should be present in all the three branches. If comparing only Alpian and Carpathian branches, the ammount of 400-500 word roots are reconstructed, which is much higher. There are also more than 40 cognates for Carpathian and Hirtian but not for Alpian (some of those cognates are uncertain), and no cognates that are present in Alpian and Carpathian, but not in Hirtian.
+The following examples of reconstructed items are considered certain Proto-Oronaic word roots, present in at least one language from all the three branches:
