However, though his work was flawed, it did set the precedent for the development of Proto-languages in Radael. For example, conventions such as marking reconstructed words with an asterisk(*) originates in Zeror's ''Glossology'', as well as even the entire concept of [[w:Comparative reconstruction|comparative reconstruction]] to find the original root of a word.
However, though his work was flawed, it did set the precedent for the development of Proto-languages in Radael. For example, conventions such as marking reconstructed words with an asterisk(*) originates in Zeror's ''Glossology'', as well as even the entire concept of [[w:Comparative reconstruction|comparative reconstruction]] to find the original root of a word.


For example, the word ''*vudas'', meaning "sheep", was reconstructed from Ilda ''usda'' and Vulgar Maranz ''vodvadas''. The Téfir equivalent of the word is ''*fwejt̪u''. Though seemingly a radically different word, some aspects that Zeror noticed were factored in, such as a fricative at the beginning and a plosive before the final vowel.
