Dear Algonquianists,

I am looking for information on the use of the subordinator concessive
prefix *ata*- in Cree (derived from *âta *'although'). I tried to find
examples in several text collections by Ahenakew and Wolfart, but could
only find examples of the free word *âta*. If any of you has references on
the use of this prefix (in particular, the difference with the free word),
and examples sentences from any variety of Cree, I would be very grateful.

Best wishes,

Guillaume
