Looks good to me otherwise, but question about the casing. The PR changes the autonym from title case to lowercase entirely, so I am wondering if that is intentional (happy to list it as such, if that is the native spelling and capitalization for subjects or names is not used)? General information on Wikipedia seems to list only lowercase characters, which makes me wonder, but then some other sources do use uppercase as well in word samples. Are there some casing rules in general that should be noted somehow?

@kontur The orthography references listed here show the uppercase on page 6 for both of them. Both also use lowercase autonyms. The references listed on https://glottolog.org/resource/languoid/id/kako1242 that are in Kako also use a lowercase automym.

Wikipedia shows an alphabet chart in lowercase but doesn't say the alphabet is lowercase only anywhere. References clearly use a bicameral orthography.
