本文考察了阿尔吉语尤罗克语中的一个对比演化案例。前 *e分裂成两个元音，e和a，由于语音条件元音降低，这是由于/h/的条件损失而变得不透明。分析Yurok a和a的所有实例：作为 *e和 *e的反射：提供了对动词范式和形态相关形式的新见解。这一分析也对重建Proto-Ritwan有潜在的影响。前尤罗克语的基本四元音系统可能直接反映了原里特万语早期的四元音系统。
This paper examines a case of contrast evolution in Yurok, an Algic language. Former *e has split into two vowels, e and a, due to phonetically conditioned vowel lowering which was rendered opaque by conditioned loss of /h/. Analyzing all instances of Yurok a and a: as reflexes of *e and *e: provides new insights into verbal paradigms and morphologically related forms. This analysis also has potential implications for the reconstruction of Proto‐Ritwan. The pre‐Yurok basic four‐vowel system may directly reflect an earlier four‐vowel system in Proto‐Ritwan.
