ABSTRACT
The palatalization (or, more accurately, affrication) of jtj to fcf before /i/ has figured at several points in the discussion of the last two chapters, notably in 4.2.2. There appear to be at least three palatalization rules in Passamaquoddy, each of which is subject to morphological restrictions. The most general of these rules changes a root-final ftf to fcf before connective /i/. A second rule is triggered by inflectional suffixes which begin with /if. A third rule changes ftf to /c/ before a synchronically arbitrary class of finals which begin with vowels other than /if.
