South Saami morphophonological processes

Overview

Below is a list of the phenomena that need to be accounted for:

The following is a list of contexts for the above phenomenon:

Further description of each phenomenon is given in the following sections.

Umlaut

In the following table, all Umlaut rows are listed. The first syllable vowel (the “Umlauted” one) can belong to one of seven sets, the vowel of the following syllable (the “Umlauting” one) can be one of six. The core Umlaut table is as found in Bergsland 1994: Sydsamisk grammatikk (page 32), the additional info about use is mine.

Column nr:
Row nr:
C1 C2 C3 C4 C5 C6 C7 Context (the following syllable) Used/found when/where:
R1: i e u ie ae e ue -ie
  • nouns ending in -ie
  • attributive form in -ies
  • short forms of nouns (nominals?)
  • 1Du. & 3Pl. Pres. (-ie-) for verbs of type IV
R2: a ea aa a ua -a
  • nouns ending in -a
  • Ill. Sg. (-an) for nouns ending in -ie
  • all Sg. Pres. (-a-) for verbs of type I
  • stem vowel (-a-) for verbs of type III
  • 3. Sg. (-a) for verbs of type IV
R3: a ea aa a (a) -oe
  • nouns ending in -oe
  • stem vowel (-oe-) for verbs of type II
R4: a o e aa a oe -e 1 (eller i) mrk
  • stem vowel for verbs of type IV
R5: y o o y () -e 2 mrk
  • Ill. Sg. for nouns ending in -oe (optional, not all such nouns)
  • 3. Sg. Pres. for verbs on -oe-
  • stem vowel for verbs of type V
R6: i i u ee ee -e 3 (eller i) lys
  • Pl. stem for nouns ending in -ie
  • Pret. stem for verbs on -ie- (optional, not all such verbs)
  • stem vowel for verbs of type VI

Note that the table is simplifying the facts. The different e’s in the context for R4-R6 is not further specified, nor is the fact that the other Umlauting vowels might be full (as listed) or reduced due to the addition of another syllable.

Examples

Below is listed all the rows R1 to R6, together with where we find the Umlauting ending in question, either reduced or fully, and examples of the Umlaut process

R1 (-ie)

R2 (-a)

Notes: R2 and R3 are almost completely identical (the only difference can’t really be verified, according to Bergsland 1994), the only difference being the ending. But with a tendency for a geographical distribution: the -a forms (R2) is more used in the south (marked with a star ‘*’ in the dictionary Bergsland & Mattsson Magga 1993), the -oe forms are unmarked. Additionally, there seems to be a tendency to blend C2 and C3 for these two rows, such that one often finds several variants of the same word, occupying one of the four places in the matrix C2-C3,R2-R3 (the place R2C3 seems to be least used?).

R3 (-oe)

R4 (-e 1 )

R5 (-e 2 )

R6 (-e 3 )
