<HTML><FONT FACE=arial,helvetica><FONT SIZE=2>The Stoney pattern, then, is similar in spirit to that of the Northern
<BR>Interior Salishan languages, which appear to have switched from an ancestral
<BR>root-based pattern to one trailing off to the right flank including suffixed
<BR>materials, following shift from original root-stress system. Areally
<BR>interesting, if there may have been intervening languages with similar
<BR>stories- anyone know of the Algonkian in between? Kutenay doesn't have any
<BR>active reduplicative contructions (second hand p.c. from Larry Morgan) as far
<BR>as I can tell. Thanks!
