WA- once more.

[Carolyn Q.]

I agree with Bob.  Unfortunately, I don't have CDs of my taped recordings,
so I probably can't use the Google tool.  I will work toward this, though,
and get more than my impressions and memory of my impressions to go by for
vowel length.
But I do know that I never heard awa in P1p--that would have instantly
grabbed my attention.

At this point I'd have to say I'm uncomfortable going on at length with the
thread when no one wants to get down and dirty, make the necessary
recordings
and do the spectrograms.

I am in the process of retranscribing all my field notes from the CD's that
the
Kaw Nation kindly made from my tapes, but this is a long term process and I
don't have any examples yet that contrast these two morphemes.

I suspect the general pattern is the same as the other Dhegiha languages,
but
we'll have to see.  And for Quapaw we can only rely on Dorsey.
