On reading the LINGUIST's Web posting
(http://www.emich.edu/~linguist/issues/8/8-1528.html) of my summary of
replies to my query on external sandhi, I discovered that all the
circumflexes (carets) had been lost in transit. They were there when
the message left my keyboard!

I will repeat the two affected sections here, substituting for the
caret a pound sign ("#"), which I hope will reach subscribers:

 -----------------------------------

Ben Brumfield <benwbrumberserker.lensflare.com> pointed out a 
regional example: 

Piedmont Virginia (Pittsylvania County, at least) features the case of
/rajc# yi:r/ 
Ri-Cheer For "Right Here"

=====

Mel Resnick <resnickmccentum.utulsa.edu> pointed me to his 
article: 

Resnick, Melvyn C. "The Redundant English Phonemes /c#,j#,s#,z#/." 
 Linguistics 86 (1972): 83-86.

Those symbols in the title are of course in place of the usual 
wedge symbols. 

 -----------------------------------

The deletions must have made Resnick's last comment rather puzzling.

On the other hand, the blanks between brackets in Betty Phillips's
contribution
 >	(where [ ] = "esh")
are exactly as I received them from her, although they, too, may
represent something more substantial that vanished en route.
