Dissimilative consonant deletion?[edit]
The examples cited for this process don't appear to me to support its full generality; is there a more circumscribed way it can be stated? All but one of the examples are loss of the first n in a final -nVn sequence (and I don't know enough about Laz to know whether this is morphophonological). The remaining one, deḳiḳe ~ deiḳe 'minute', seems extremely questionable -- it must be an (ultimate) loan from the Arabic دقيقة daqīqa, and I'd want to explain any funny alternations in it as behaviours of loan adaptation. How is the Arabic q borrowed otherwise? Variably as Laz q' (> zero intervocalically) and ḳ? 4pq1injbok (talk) 03:41, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
