"Chain shift" defined

[Mai Kuha]

...by a student taking my Language and Society course: chain shift is what
happens when "a word is mispronounced and over time it gets worse". I
trust all you people participating in the Northern Cities or in the
Southern shifts will take note and mend your ways.

-Mai
