<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>
Willem: Good to see we agree on this. That is what you would expect, of Lakota bluha had three syllables. So you would have to say that either bluha has two syllables, or that bluha has three syllables, and the third sylable is stressed.<br>
<br>
<font size="4">K<font size="4">ansa keeps it exactly where it is on all the <i>BL</i> lexemes, so</font></font></font></font><font size="4">
</font><i>yüzé</i> ‘to get, obtain’ is conjugated <span style="">1sg </span><i style="">blǘze,
</i><span style="">2sg </span><i style="">hnǘze, </i><span style="">3sg </span><i style="">yüzáabe</i>, 1pl
<i>ąyǘzaabe</i>.<span style=""> I assume other Dhegiha dialects keep accent the same.<br>
<br>
Willem: Great. So you could say Kansa is more conservative... Or you could say that the rule ordering was different. Kansa applies 2nd syllable stress rule first, then drops the vowel, whereas Dakotan drops the vowel first, then applies 2nd syllable stress
rule.<br>
