In light of this, it is imperative to identify simple preventative measures to eliminate or mitigate infection transfer and reservoirs, as well as shortening the duration and lessening the severity of the infection.

Misdiagnosis or missed diagnosis of WD affected individuals is common. WD should be considered in all patients with motor or psychiatric neurological deficits, with or without hepatic involvement, especially children. The consistency of the neurologic manifestations in WD matching neurologic problems associated with the more familiar HTR2A can be used as a diagnostic tool to infer the possibility of WD. Elevated copper is concomitant with zinc deficiency. The least expensive and safest treatment for Wilson's disease is daily administration of zinc, zinc picolinate being the best absorbed form of zinc. In the absence of other conclusive testing, a moderate amount of zinc could be prescribed without any harm to the patient. If there is a positive response to the zinc, then there is a strong likelihood of WD. The zinc would need to be taken for the life of the patient to prevent recurrence of copper overload. Zinc is the preferred treatment for children and can be taken safely during pregnancy. It is the most effective treatment for most patients.

However, greater scrutiny of the language does not support this view. Rather, I would suggest that Burushaski is a language founded in early Proto Indo-European and left somewhat isolated. It was later influenced by exposure to and intersection with various languages layered into its vocabulary and sound system over the centuries as a result of marriage, trade, invasion, and religion.
**Additional linguistic examples are pending.
