final n

[Campbell, R Joe]

Jonathan,

   I read and re-read your message several times today in the midst of 
listening to Oapan (and other) field recordings.  I am definitely 
listening with different
ears as a result of your comments and John's originally focussing our 
attention
on what happens to nasals (mainly in word-final position).
   I have repeatedly said (and possibly once to you) that Oapan is the 
most difficult dialect of Nahuatl that I have encountered -- and I 
didn't really
begin to penetrate some problems until I read your explanation about 
some things, one being the stress shift related to the loss of /h/.

All the best,

Joe
