convert partial cognates to full cognates #7

Once we have the cognates, we have to convert them to full cognates to compare with the original cognate sets. I will propose methods later.

Deepadung et al. have a different cogid for the 1sg. pronoun in PongNuea /ʔow/ even though it matches other languages. They also accidentally put a numeral in for MangBang instead of a word.

Their judgments for "earth/soil" and "run with both hands" seem to be a little off. But for most of the rest of the concepts, it seems to be good.

In some cases, such as "heart," giving the individual syllables cogids instead of the words will remedy what would be an otherwise impossible task.
