Abstract

1. Proto-Algonquian h and n precede p, t, c, k, s, 2, 0, 1, while ? precedes all these except p and k; c and x precede only p and k, while S precedes not only p and k but also t; and C is prior member to k alone. As second members in clusters, t, 1, 0 behave morphophonemically like the corresponding single consonants. So also in F C M 01 and D, t reflects the old alternation to c before high front vowels; however, in D 1 (reflex of PA 1 and 0) has lost the old habit of alternation with S both as a single consonant and as the second member of a cluster (see 5 and 6.4 below). 2. The PA sequence h-stop remains in F C M and appears as geminate stop in O. But more than one reflex is found in D.
