Yes, but no other is as fully fleshed-out; some are little more than
lists of reconstructed forms for cognate lexical items.

Can anyone out there list those families for which a plausible "proto-
grammar" has been reconstructed?  I’ve read one for Finno-Ugric and I’ve
heard that one exists for Proto-Semitic, though I’ve never seen it
described.  References would be nice if it’s not too much bother.
