I just meant that if Rashi believes that the pre-Hapelagah language was
LhQ and yet the post-Hapelagah new languages have cognate words to LhQ,
then clearly the bilbul wasn't complete. Leaving us words that weren't
changed beyond recognition.

And so I think it is implicit in Rashi, a statement of a conclusion I drew
(that was the point of that post), rather than being only my own belief.
