Wow! That would be great if Moten speakers had been in contact with the
Teonim. As you may know, the only speaker of Moten I know is |Sela Jemufan
Atlinan C.G. He suffers from amnesia and was found and adopted by a Belgian
family when he was approximately 8 (that was 15 years ago. He is 23 now,
just like me). Nobody could ever find who he is and where he is from. If
the Teonim have some evidence of the existence of a Moten speaking people,
that would be great for him.
