This research was supported in part by NSF POWRE grant #SBR-9806180. Previous
versions of parts of this paper were presented at the 1994 Utrecht Prosodic Morphology
Conference, BLS 1996, the 1997 Berlin Conference on the Phonological Word and
WECOL 1998, linguistics colloquia at UBC, the University of Victoria and UCSC
and the UBC Phonology Reading Group. The analysis in this paper revised and
supersedes these earlier analyses. Thanks to the organisers and participants of those
meetings for their feedback. I owe Larry Hyman and Ngessimo Mutaka my particular
gratitude for their generosity in answering my endless questions about Kinande and for
their many constructive critical comments on earlier versions of this paper. John
Alderete, Guy Carden, Megan Crowhurst, Sharon Inkelas, David Odden, Orhan
Orgun, Doug Pulleyblank, Pat Shaw, Donca Steriade, Suzanne Urbanczyk and Linda
Watt, as well as the reviewers and an associate editor of Phonology, deserve special
thanks for valuable comments which improved both the substance and the presentation
of this paper. Any errors of fact or interpretation are, of course, my responsibility.
