Yokuts notes
Nouns
- The presentation of nouns in the database is based on Archangeli (1984), with additional items from Hockett (1973).
- The vowel represented as /V/ can be taken a stem-final vowel, which surfaces only in particular cases.
- The suffix -in surfaces as -un following a syllable in /u/ or /o/. This is due to regular vowel harmony rules in the case of preceding /u/, and more abstractly in the case of /o/, on the assumption that mid-vowels in these contexts are underlyingly high (Archangeli 1984: 315).
