Disjunct/conjunct coinage?

[Philip J. Greenfeld]

Kari uses them in his 1975 article "The Disjunct 
Boundary in the Navajo and Tanaina Verb Prefix 
Complexes." International Journal of American 
Linguistics 41(4):330-345. He cites Li's 
Chipewyan Consonants paper where Li used the 
concept, but notes that the first use of it was 
in "Navajo Notes" from a class by Sapir  written 
by Swadesh. The paper is in the American 
Philosophical Society Library in Philadelphia.

>from Sapir & Whorf, as but I didn't see where he might have mentioned
