Noun Incorporation

[Claire Bowern]

----------------------------Original message----------------------------
Dear list members,
I'm interested in languages that have lost noun incorporation, and I was
wondering if you could point me in the direction of some examples. I am
particularly interested in languages that have lost noun incorporation by
ceasing to incorporate, thereby leaving few (if any) fossilised
incorporated items. I'm also interested in the circumstances of the loss,
if known. Please reply to me and I'll post a summary to the list.
Best wishes,
Claire Bowern
