¹ Leonard Bloomfield, On the Sound-System of Central Algonquian, Lang. 1.130–56 (1925). Reconstructions made by Bloomfield are cited without the supporting forms. Others cited with supporting forms are largely from the scattered papers of Truman Michelson.

Language names are abbreviated : PA for Proto-Algonquian, F for Fox, C for Cree, M for denomini, O for Ojibwa, D for Delaware. The affricate is written c throughout, since č is never distinguished from c in any one language.

Indebtedness is gratefully acknowledged to the Linguistic Institute for providing Delaware and Ojibwa informants (1938–1940).

² Because *wiit- precedes -peemeew without connective *i; Bloomfield, Lang. 1.150.

³ Rather, ‘it is in place’; the critical form is M a^?tεw. Also in 6.1 the critical form for PA ne?tami ‘first’ is C nistam; M nεεee^?tam shows initial change. For these and other additions and corrections I am indebted to Bloomfield.

⁴ Especially in initial syllable reduplication, as nihiniiš- from niiš ‘two’; and in theme final syllables before person pluralizers, as -mo in the example above; cp. kӘniišántpa you have two heads'.

⁵ At the 1939 Annual Meeting of the American Anthropological Association, Bloomfield accounted for the developments of Shawnee and Potawatomi as a wave effect.
