    Does anybody know of any studies concerning the disappearance of WER(E) and GUMA in English and their replacement by MAN?

    Dear Fellow-Shawnee Grammarians,

    I am interested in contacting those working on Shawnee. I worked translating Shawnee texts under the guidance of C. F. Voegelin many years ago and am belatedly returning to my fieldnotes, mostly with members of the Williams family (Mary, Jean, Robert, etc.) of Little Axe. Being in the mountains of Taiwan I do not have access to native speakers and would enjoy sharing information on Shawnee grammar and translation.
