<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Tahoma;color: #000000;font-size: 10pt;">I have no evidence of ata-, though âta- (with the long vowel and thus the same as the free concessive) has been recorded. I suspect, however, that this may have come from <an>
instance<s> of intrusive material occurring within the preverb string, such that this might be a fairly rare occurrence. Sorry I can't at this time comment further on whether there is any real difference between the two.<br>

<div dir="ltr">Dear Algonquianists,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am looking for information on the use of the subordinator concessive prefix
<i>ata</i>- in Cree (derived from <i>âta </i>'although'). I tried to find examples in several text collections by Ahenakew and Wolfart, but could only find examples of the free word <i>âta</i>. 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.<br clear="all">
