Two subgroups labelled South Halmahera-West New Guinea

Just been going through the Austronesian part of the Newick file. A phenomenal and useful piece of work!
In the process, I noticed that South Halmahera-West New Guinea is the label for two groups. I assume this is an error.
I've checked the listed source, Dave Kamholz' PhD dissertation. The page refs take me to DK's discussion of previous literature, not DK's new subgrouping, but I can't figure out which part of DK's discussion the SHWNG bit of the Glottolog tree is based on.

Indeed, the outer one should be called Greater SHWNG, I've fixed that for
next version. Thanks for catching it.
