Discussion in Monich 2025 Remarks on the distribution of post-consonantal glides in Nuer

Résumé

In Nuer, glides /w/ and /j/ frequently occur root-internally between the initial consonant of the root and the root vowel. This article examines possible combinations of the glides with adjacent segments, identifying meaningful patterns in the data. It establishes several synchronic phonological processes which obscure the underlying segmental composition of the glide-containing sequences in Nuer, as well as some relatively recent diachronic developments that resulted in emergence of post-consonantal glides in new phonological contexts. The original distribution of post-consonantal glides in the ancestral language (Proto-Dinka-Nuer) is then reconstructed, taking these findings into account, and compared to a similar reconstruction based on the data from Agar Dinka (Flego, this volume).
