<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Hi all,<br>
<br>
sorry, I was away for a couple of days and am having now trouble following the different discussions, but I'm trying my best to catch up :-)<br>
<br>
As for loans, I think there were a handful of loans from Algonquian that Miner already marked in his field lexicon of Hoocąk as such. I remember
<i>haramįhe</i> (or <i>haramehi</i>) ’week, (Christian) cross’ was one such case.. here is another good reason to get all the dictionaries into good digital shape (also the Algonquian ones), so we can search more efficiently for potential loan words, I think
that would be an interesting project..<br>
<br>
As for what was written about nį- being first person actor inflection, this is not entirely true, it is first person A acting on 2nd person U, described in the past as a portmanteau of ha- and nį-. (In the past this has been described as being long nįį-,
but this I have not found to be true, it is always short just as the 2nd Undergoer pronominal affix.) Doesn’t Lakotha have something like this? Also, we saw something similar for Chiwere at this year’s conference in the presentation about causatives, only
there it was theorized that the nį- just expressed the 2nd U and the 1st A remained unexpressed.. Or am I missing something here?<br>
<br>
Also there was the question of the pluralization of the different person forms, the Hoocąk paradigm (for class 1 conjugations) looks like this:<br>
S/A (subjects, actor)<br>
<br>
1 excl SG / PL: ha- / ha- ... -wi<br>
du / 1 incl: hį- / hį-... -wi <br>
2 SG/ PL: ra- /ra- ...-wi<br>
3 SG / PL: [zero] / -ire<br>
<br>
I hope this helps.<br>
Best,<br>
Iren<br>
