The end of the verb is nigh: A convergence of domains in Tłı chǫ Yatıì
long, morphologically complex verbs, various phenomena serve to make the verb-final monosyllabic stem perceptually prominent. I show that her analysis applies with greater force to the neighbouring, closely related Tłı chǫ Yatıì (Dogrib). The right periphery of the Tłı chǫ Yatıì verb has a constitue...
