9 The 2 points where I observed the final j plus e plus an alveolar n are adjacent to the 3 points (Acatic, Mezcala, and Jalostotitlán) where Robe observed the same phenomenon through recorded texts. By sheer coincidence none of the localities for which Robe presented recorded texts was studied by me.

10 Some may hold that this vocalic quality is closely related to the etymological e after d and r as described by Menéhdez Pidal in the Canlar de mio Cid as well as the antietymo-logical or paragogic e after s (mase, sone) described in the same work (Madrid, 1946, pp. 1177–84), a viewpoint that had first appeared in RFE, xx (1933), 345–350. This is hardly possible since in order to call this an etymological e it would be necessary to confirm the existence of the e from the 12th century to the present phenomenon of Jalisco. There is no diachronic evidence that spoken Spanish uses this e anywhere.
