Footnotes

This research was supported in part by NSF POWRE grant #SBR-9806180. Previous versions of parts of this paper were presented at the 1994 Utrecht Prosodic Morphology Conference, BLS 1996, the 1997 Berlin Conference on the Phonological Word and WECOL 1998, linguistics colloquia at UBC, the University of Victoria and UCSC and the UBC Phonology Reading Group. The analysis in this paper revised and supersedes these earlier analyses. Thanks to the organisers and participants of those meetings for their feedback. I owe Larry Hyman and Ngessimo Mutaka my particular gratitude for their generosity in answering my endless questions about Kinande and for their many constructive critical comments on earlier versions of this paper. John Alderete, Guy Carden, Megan Crowhurst, Sharon Inkelas, David Odden, Orhan Orgun, Doug Pulleyblank, Pat Shaw, Donca Steriade, Suzanne Urbanczyk and Linda Watt, as well as the reviewers and an associate editor of Phonology, deserve special thanks for valuable comments which improved both the substance and the presentation of this paper. Any errors of fact or interpretation are, of course, my responsibility.
