ABSTRACT
The voicing of voiceless stops is a well-known and well-understood phenomenon, especially in environments such as intervocalically (e.g. Plains Cree, Dobrovolsky 1997) or after a nasal (e.g. Zoque, Wonderly 1951). However, relatively little is known about the ability of ejectives to voice. This chapter will investigate the synchronic and diachronic cases of ejectives becoming voiced, resulting in either voiced stops, or implosives.
