本研究的目的是概述在塞内加尔西南部使用的Gújjolaay Eegimaa （Bak，大西洋，尼日尔-刚果）品种中，导致名词和动词词根音节结构保持道德的共时性和历时性策略。Eegimaa的两种方言或变种在地理上沿着卡萨芒斯河的一个半岛划定，当地称为王国。两个变体之间的同源名词和动词词根在双元音和长元音的基础上存在音位上的差异。在地理上较为孤立和保守的Eegimaa语系中，使用双音辅音而不使用长元音，这在靠近河流边界的语系中可以看到。在这两种情况下，一种原本有效的弱化过程都不适用：单音节辅音后面跟着长元音，这些长元音与双元音同源词相对应，意外地没有在间断性地减弱。在长元音的变体中，限制的应用不足导致了一种假设，即在原始语言中，双元音是长元音的前身，但没有其他证实的Jóola变体包含对比双元音。对Eegimaa方言和更广泛使用的Jóola语言的比较表明，只有在Eegimaa，鼻音不发音的爆破簇是被禁止的。相反，Eegimaa和其他Jóola语言之间的同源词一致地显示一个双元音或长元音，而不是一个不允许的鼻辅音集群。该研究呼吁通过语言接触和历史发展来保存道德，以此来解释单一Eegimaa品种中双生人的不寻常外观，并为进一步研究塞内加尔卡萨芒斯的多语言现象提供途径。
The purpose of this study is to provide an overview of the synchronic and diachronic strategies that have led to the preservation of moraicity in noun and verb roots’ syllable structure among Gújjolaay Eegimaa (Bak, Atlantic, Niger-Congo) varieties spoken in southwestern Senegal. Two dialects, or varieties, of Eegimaa are geographically delineated along a peninsula of the Casamance River, locally known as The Kingdom. Cognate noun and verb roots between the two varieties differ phonemically on the basis of geminate consonants versus long vowels. Speakers of the more geographically isolated and conservative variety of Eegimaa use geminate consonants to the exclusion of long vowels, which are witnessed among speakers closer to the river’s borders. An otherwise productive process of lenition fails to apply in both instances: singleton consonants followed by long vowels that correspond with cognates with geminate consonants unexpectedly fail to weaken intervocalically. The under-application of lenition in the variety with long vowels leads to a postulation that geminates were the predecessor to long vowels in the Proto-language, yet no other attested Jóola variety contains contrastive geminates. A comparison between the Eegimaa dialects and morewidely spoken Jóola languages shows that nasal-voiceless plosive clusters are banned only in Eegimaa. Instead, cognates between Eegimaa and other Jóola languages consistently display a geminate or a long vowel in place of an impermissible nasal-consonant cluster. The study appeals to mora preservation through both language contact and historical development as an explanation for the otherwise unusual appearance of geminates in the single Eegimaa variety as well as provides avenues for further research into multilingualism in Casamance, Senegal.
