Individual evidence

  1. ↑ What is meant is "roof of the oral cavity" (palate).
    According to the definition of the palate in the Metzler Lexicon Language (5th edition, edited by Helmut Glück and Michael Rödel. Metzler 2016.), according to the Indo-European definition, the tectals (this lemma does not exist there) are a subset of the palate (see SS. 221, 259).
