evidence for the unity of East Kainji as a group and for its subclassification is
non-existent, as
is any coherent account of its relation to West Kainji. Scattered wordlists, some very

in the Benue-Congo Comparative Wordlist (BCCW) (Williamson & Shimizu 1968; Williamson 1972) and in Shimizu (1968,
1979, 1982).
•Many
languages, especially of the Kauru group, appear to have no material available at
all. Di Luzio
(1972) is the only published grammar sketch of an East Kainji language, tiMap, while
Anderson (1981)
presented a more complete account of the noun classes of the same language.
