<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Tahoma;color: #000000;font-size: 10pt;">Hi Danielle,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'm not aware of anything actually written with regard to this, but there was some brief discussion at the recent Algonquian conference (or was it online???) about the possible source or model for the introduction of the dual as a category in Micmac (and
Maliseet?). Inuktitut could be one source, but Iroquoian was perhaps (?) favoured suggesting some contact in the (lower? south eastern?) Great Lakes area. Others far more knowledgeable about the Eastern languages, please feel free to shoot these thoughts
down as required.<br>
