Partial cognacy, however, is a frequently recurring phenomenon, especially in language families with productive derivational morphology.
with a total of three different clustering algorithms (UPGMA, Markov Clustering, and Infomap), we thus carried out twelve tests on complete cognacy (three for each of our four approaches), and six additional tests on pure partial cognate detection, in which we compared the suitability of SCA and LexStat as string similarity measures.
