Dorsey's Law

[Nancy E Hall]

Miner's Hocank Lexicon contains the word [k'orok'oros] 'be hollow'. This
looks like a Dorsey's Law root in that it contains identical vowels
flanking a sonorant, and it behaves like a DL root in that it reduplicates
in its entirety. But while Miner 1979 lists [kr] among the clusters that
trigger DL, [k'r] is not mentioned. Similarly, the Lexicon contains
[haik'InI] 'stay to protect' ([I] = nasalized [i]). This is like a DL root
in that the vowel before the nasal is nasalized, but again it involves
[k'].

Can anyone tell me if these are indeed cases of DL, and if so, is there
any other information on DL after [k']?

Thanks,
