Derivations

The bound form that only appears in compounds, the so-called 被覆形 of /tuku/, cannot derive from /tukuy/ -- that final vowel sound is hypothesized to be a fused suffix added to the bound form. If anything, /tuku/ is the root, and /tukuy/ is the descendant / derivative.

As such, I'm removing /tuku/ from the list of descendants. ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │^{Tala við mig} 17:44, 25 June 2019 (UTC)

Source for the Southern Amami-Oshima root?

I became interested upon seeing a dental fricative in the description for Southern Amami-Oshima. However upon investigating, I cannot find a single shred of evidence that such a phoneme exists in any sense. Is this just hidden in some old untranslated document or..? What are the sources here?

You can see a supposed description of the phonlogy in this paper: [[1]]. No dental fricative to be found (although it is a grammar paper so it could be ignoring some allophone or something.

Wasn't this meant to be t' (a glottalized t) in Thorpe 1983, p. 306? Kwékwlos (talk) 07:36, 26 April 2022 (UTC)
