Take the following as truth: In most cases, they dealt with words and functional elements, creating what are called reconstructions in hypothetical family prototypes called, variously, Proto-Latin, Proto-Greek, Proto-Germanic, Proto-Indo-Iranian, and so forth, the ultimate goal being to posit a single language called Proto-Indo-European.
Then the following statement: "They never attempted to reconstruct hypothetical language prototypes." is true, false, or inconclusive?
Answer: False
