verification note

Author-copy PDF fetched 2026-08-28 (the eScholarship page 403s automated checkers; the PDF itself was retrieved): names the "Arawakan linguistic matrix hypothesis" (citing Hornborg 2005; Eriksen 2011; Eriksen & Danielsen 2014), calls its supporting evidence "quite weak", and explicitly limits the criticism ("this does not entail that theories regarding the Arawakan ethos are flawed"). CORRECTION: an earlier draft carried a constructed DOI ending 030154, caught by the citation pre-flight as unregistered; title and DOI above are from the fetched cover page.
