Huitepec resumen

pMix *y > x retained - before front vowels (i,e), oral + nasal *x>xy l_e, perhaps *x>0/#_i (see *xiyo, *xito~) but contrast 91 comio ñe xiči *k > x l_V~ s } Otherwise *k retained - split of *k, w/ consequent merger of *k/_v with *x/_V~ *kw > xw /_V~ s s s

*yɨkɨ~ > žɨxɨ~ calabaza now you have X before front and back vowels (tho only back nasal) much more balanced load > > *yexi~ > žahxi~ʔ jicara > > *yuxe~ > žuxye~ masa > >

/X/ before nasal vowels sometimes gives it nasal quality? ----- and similar, perhaps convergent development of h [N] from *t/_V~ *t>tn/_V~. >Nn > n *yeti~ > žaNni near (esta' cerca) possible confusions - further merger between * t and * k, *x *siti~ > dixi~ nariz (instead of expected dihni dinni) (I seem to have this from 2 sources - Raul's tape + my Oax interview? - so should be okay) (*tiyu~ʔ > xiʔu trabajo (instead of hniʔu) Raul's tape: hni~ñuʔ (Oax Data)) *kɨʔɨ > hni~ʔi~ voy (instead of xɨ~ʔi~) (Raul's Tape)) feather, four + black: minimal tone pairs or homonyms *toʔo~ > hnu~ʔu~ palabra (rather than xuʔu or xumi) *towi~ > (both from Oax and Raul's tape)

Huitepec- [ ? ], p 3 rule summary - Huitepec has a unique phonolosical history and seems to have developed a phonological structure[ ] [ ] is the other languages (see fricative series, for example), It appears to be most like Peñoles and perhaps Tilantongo, differing in the weak presence of Rule # 1 in Huitepec ( * wi reduction), and in the lack of any s or s frictatives (no rule 5 or 6; * returned and * s > of, no s or s from other sources, except rare occurencies, like - se, 3 pg. dependent pronoun)
