<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Arial;color: #000000;font-size: 14pt;">> Bob, I don't think you should discount first person inflected forms, since<br>
the accent always moves forward as we add prefixes. If "bluhA" were three<br>
syllables, we'd have to stress it blUha.<br>
<font face="Arial" size="4"><br>
That's true, and I'd have expected Dakotan <i>blúha, núha, yuhá</i>. I take it that doesn't happen, and Dakota has<font size="4"> moved accent rightward an extra syllable?<br>
<br>
