Message 1: Information on hiatus

Subject: Information on hiatus

I am preparing a study of the development and elimination of
word-internal hiatus in the Germanic languages. I would be grateful
for references to earlier studies of hiatus in other languages,
including non-IE ones. I am particularly ionterested in references on

a. the development of hiatus when a consonant is lost;
b. the elimination of hiatus (consonant or glide insertion; contraction);
c. changes favoring retention of hiatus;
d. constraints on possible hiatus in a given language (family).

Kindly reply to me directly at <connollymemphis.edu>.

Thanks

Subject: Cayuga language references

Hello All:

Can anyone point me in the direction of Cayuga language references?
Online or hardcopy. I am attempting to acquire this language on my
own. Of course media (tapes, MP3, etc.) would be great.


Thanks.
