Southeastern Pomo language

Although, in some cases a short epenthetic vowel is inserted to break up word-initial consonant clusters.

Examples of this, as noted by Moshinsky (1974) are: → cáqlamat → cícala → qəlácac In this phonological rule, /m/ and /l/ become syllabic when they precede a consonant which has the same point or articulation.

Examples of this are as follows: → ḷdé → ḷṭá → ṃpú+k+t → ṃpú+ki+t → ṃpúkit → ṃbó+l+k+t → ṃbó+l+ki+t → ṃbólkit This rule is as follows: d → ø / _ C D-deletion occurs when it appears before a consonant, and Moshinsky (1974) has hypothesized that this may occur in order to eliminate two-consonant clusters when the first consonant is an alveolar stop or resonant.

Some examples of d-deletion in Southeastern Pomo are: → ló+t → lót → bəṭéd+lay → biṭéd+lay → biṭé+lay → biṭélay This rule inserts a schwa between stem-initial consonants, preceding the stress vowel.

As noted by Moshinsky (1974), these nouns include derived verbs, and the semantic domains of small animals, plants and birds.

Below are a few examples of nouns with reduplication in the Southeastern Pomo language: ma- second third -ay plural -med feminine far—that displaced -il object -itib benefactive -it+baq alienable possession -it inalienable possession Verbs take a great variety of suffixes divided into many position classes.

An example of this with two languages in the Pomoan family is c- 'with the front end, by flowing water';, which is cognate with Kashaya /cû/ and may be related to Eastern Pomo /ku-/.

[6] Some examples of this are as follows: Object-Verb sentences are also exemplified in the Moshinsky grammar:[4] Southeastern Pomo is classified as a nominative-accusative in nature.

Some examples of this syntactic feature, as noted by Bernard Comrie[7] are:[8] Southeastern Pomo also has various switch references that come through in a number of sentences.
