    Show Mental gymnastics meme: upper panel, labeled "Normal people mental gymnastics", says, "English and Mbabaram both call canids 'dog' therefore they are related languages"; lower panel, labeled "Big linguistics mental gymnastics", says, "Mbabaram 'dog' from proto-Pama-Nyungan 'gudaga', related to Dyirbal 'guda' and Yidiny 'gudaga'; English 'dog' is attested in Old English as 'docga' possibly from 'dox' whence 'dusk', with the diminutive suffix 'ga', though this is contested; Old English 'dox' is ultimately from the Proto-Indo-European root 'dʰwes' whence also English 'deer', 'dun', and 'dust'; Old English 'ga' is also reflected in English 'frog', 'pig', 'stag'. Languages can only be considered to be related when there is a large systematic correspondence that can be described using the comparative method."
