Personal names from Kaniš: the oldest Indo-European linguistic material
- ️https://leidenuniv.academia.edu/AlwinKloekhorst
AI-generated Abstract
The paper presents an analysis of personal names retrieved from Kaniš, a significant archaeological site, emphasizing their Indo-European linguistic features. It delves into phonetic representations and semantic interpretations of these names, exploring their connections to Proto-Indo-European roots and Hittite language elements. Findings indicate a direct relationship between the names studied and broader Indo-European linguistic material, enhancing the understanding of early Indo-European phonetics and semantics.

GLIMPSES OF HANKOU PHONOLOGICAL HISTORY
The modern metropolis of W3 uh4 an comprises three earlier cities, i.e., H4 ank3 ou, H4 any2 ang, and W3 uch1 ang. For modern W3 uh4 an we have several different phonological descriptions, and for pre-modern H4 ank3 ou there are romanized records reaching back 125 years. On the basis of these sources it is possible to trace the history of the H4 ank3 ou sound system for the past century and quarter. Such a study reveals that the phonological history of this dialect was quite complex and reflects contact and convergence as well as simple historical sound change.
A phonetic analysis of obstruent series in Hidatsa
Proceedings of the 38th Siouan and Caddoan Languages Conference, 2019
This work represents a preliminary look at the obstruent series in Hi-datsa. Various scholars have described a plain and aspirated series in Siouan (Boyle 2007, Park 2012), but there is a disagreement between scholars as to the status of "pre-aspirated" segments. Quintero (2004) notes that Siouanists have long had a debate over whether these so-called pre-aspirated stops are truly monosegmental or if they are a sequence of segments. This paper examines these previous claims and finds support for two underlying stop and affricate varieties: plain and aspirated. Furthermore, we find that there is no phonemic pre-aspiration in Hidatsa, though there is a distinction between underlying /hC/ clusters and a phonological operation of pre-aspiration of obstruents in the environment of heavy syllables bearing stress.
The phonetic structures of Hadza
Studies in African Linguistics, 2010
Hadza is one of three East African languages with clicks. Previous field repons on this language have disagreed on several of its phonetic chanacteristics, including the number and nature of the clicks. This paper-based on acoustic and aniculatory analyses of data collected in recent fieldwork-presents a more detailed picture than any previous work. Special attention is given to the aniculation of the click types and the acoustic features of the click accompaniments, the role of aspiration in distinguishing classes of consonants, and the fonnant structure of vowels. 101 p pataku'Je 'palm of hand' 99 iupa-kho 'foam' 81 b bada 'hole' 44 I)~oba-kho 'baobab' p' p'a?Uwe-'to split' m makllo 'clay pot' 85 samakha-phi 'three' mph mphalamafio-kho 'slingshot' fiomphai-kho 'wing' mb mbalata-kllo 'cockroach'-kJlamba-bi 'small intestine' Labiodental: f fa-'to drink.' 11 ts'ifi 'night' Dental: kI kjUthi_ 'neck' 177 kjakja 'large jla! roc/(lJl' lJl'ats'e-'to reheat' 211 talJl'e 'belt' 1)1 'I)lathll 'longue' 228 k/ikili'rja 'little finger' 181 Alveolar: t h thase 'long' 'nose' nd ndagWe-ko 'notch'-lJ!anda 'agama lizaT{f 97 l[r] lala-kho 'gazelle' 67 ba?ala-kho 'honey' 91 ts tsipit'J 'porcupine' 65 tsetse-'to grow old' dz dza-'come!' 2 lA'odzo-'to say' ts' ts'ake-'to steal' 24 fiits'a-phe 'fat' nts ntsa-kho lsrar' 47 tan(t)se-'to crack' ndz ndzopha.
