Abstract
1. The Hare Indians, according to Jenness,l lived in northwestern Canada, 'west and northwest of Great Bear lake, extending in the east to a little beyond the Anderson river, and in the west to the first line of mountains west of the Mackenzie river'. Their language, spoken by about four or five hundred people, belongs to the Athapaskan stock. The Hare data on which this paper is based were collected in 1929 by FangKuei Li; I am grateful to him for permitting me access to the material. Li's texts and field notes were recorded phonetically; the phonemic interpretations here presented are mine. The sources of data cited from other Athapaskan languages are: Chipewyan (Chip.), F. K. Li, 'A list of Chipewyanstems', IJAL 7.122-51 (1933); Hupa, Edward Sapir, field notes (ms.); Kutchin (Kut.), Edward Sapir, field notes (ms.); Mattole (Mat.), F. K. Li, Mattole, an Athapaskan language (Chicago, 1930); Minto, Michael E. Krauss, 'Proto-Athapaskan-Eyak and the problem of Na-Dene: The phonology', IJAL 30.118-31 (1964); Navaho (Nav.), Edward Sapir, field notes (ms.); Sarsi (Sar.), F. K. Li, 'A study of Sarcee verbstems', IJAL 6.3-37 (1930); San Carlos Apache (SC), H. Hoijer, field notes (ms.) The abbreviation PA stands for Proto-Athapaskan.
