This PR adds the queries that I plan to use for the release paper. They illustrate different purposes of SQLite queries, such as sound-class matching (as initially proposed by @LinguList with some adaptations to the code), matches of sound classes of specific languages, and the querying for specific colexifications etc. The three queries from soundclass_queries are combined in oe python-script, so that a map is produced that gives an overview of the best matches with all three queries.

@LinguList Can we use the proto-list from Comrie that you provided to me in anallysis/soundclass_queries/data.txt? Should we reference this contribution by him at some place?

@xrotwang Could you check whether we can simplify some aspects of the SQLite queries? Especially the query q_extended.sql takes a lof of time to complete, probably because of the recursive CTE's. The Code for preparing everything and to run the script is given in queries.md.

@chrzyki Feel free to check anything you want, I primarily thought you might be interested in some of this.

The descriptive text in queries.md still needs to be completed with the code from word_families. I will do this in the next couple of days.

@FredericBlum, should I write to Bernard today? Or we mention him in a footnote. I think it is no problem to mention it, it is also based on a talk he once gave on "Skullese" (I still don't know what he means by this).

That would probably be good, yeah, so he can chose in what way we should refer to the data and how to credit it
