double inflection

[Pamela Munro]

I'd like to know the current feeling of Siouan specialists about double
inflection for subject in verbs like Lakhtoa Ibláble 'I left' (with two
-bl- subject markers), which is cited in some theoretical literature on
double inflection.

Although I feel I have a handle on this descriptively I confess that I
haven't thought further about the best analysis, and perhaps some of you
have.

Jason Riggle and I are preparing a paper on double plural inflection in
Pima (a Uto-Aztecan language) where the words in question have clearly
been analyzed as compounds, with each section receiving its own plural
marking.

Is there a compound analysis of the Siouan verbs?

Thanks,
Pam
