<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:5pt;background-image:initial;background-repeat:initial"><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif">My advisor Monica Macaulay and I are
attempting to ascertain correspondence for a set of vowels in Cree and
Menominee.  In his "sketch,”
Bloomfield (1946) states that:</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:5pt"><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif">PA *i & *ii split into Menominee i, ii and e, ee<br>
PA *o & *oo split into Menominee u, uu and o, oo<br>
PA *e split into M e and ae (what he writes with epsilon ɛ)<br>
PA *ee became M long ae (a͞e, or ɛɛ)<br>
<br>
PA *i and *e merged to i in Cree</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:5pt"><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif">I am working on a paper which relies upon a comparison of
Cree and Menominee AI finals.  Monica and I believe that following the
information above, the Cree/Menominee cognates for the finals should be as
follows:</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:5pt"><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif"> C       M<br>
-ee     -a͞e<br>
-o       -o<br>
-aw     -aw<br>
-isi      -isi/-ese/-aese (varies in Menominee)<br>
-isii     -isii/-esii/ -aesii (ditto)<br>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt"><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif">However, my knowledge of PA and
phonological patterns across Algonquian languages is very limited, and Monica
has suggested that I check with someone with more knowledge of the history of
the languages than she has.  In general,
the meanings of these finals do seem to correspond, but one of the things that
I’m looking at with them is the ways in which they *don’t* correspond; so we
can’t really use the meanings as a way to decide the matter.  Would anyone be willing to lend us a hand in
verifying that these morphemes are cognate? 
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt"><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif"><br></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt"><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif">Thanks,</span></p>
