The story

While the first proposals by Dixon and Kroeber rested on very limited cognate sets comprising only five words, later assessments by Sapir included hundreds of putative cognate sets and analyses of Hokan morphosyntax.

Today it means

name A hypothetical grouping of a dozen small language families spoken in California, Arizona, and Mexico.

Language periods are conventional ranges, not dates for this word.
