Initial clusters in pre-Proto-Nivkh: Internal reconstruction from Proto-Nivkh
Building on recent work towards the reconstruction of Proto- and pre-Proto-Nivkh (Fortescue, 2016; Janhunen, 2016; Halm, 2017; Halm & Slater, 2018), we use internal reconstruction to investigate two developments (probably regular sound changes) of initial consonant clusters in pre-Proto-Nivkh, t...
