<div dir="ltr"><div>According to Wilco van den Heuvel's (2006) dissertation, Biak
(Austronesian, NW New Guinea) inserts a [b] into /mr/ clusters and a [d]
into /nr/ clusters (the latter only in major word classes). So for
example PMP *malip 'to laugh' -> <i>mbrif</i>, with regular
historical deletion of the initial syllable's *a. Apparently this is a
synchronically active phonological process: the intrusive consonants are
inserted when the illegal clusters are created over a morpheme
boundary, and disappear when reduplication breaks up a cluster that's
present in a monomorphemic form (<i>mbrán</i> 'walk' -> <i>marándan</i>, probably from *ma- plus PMP *zalan).<br></div>-Emily Gasser</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Sep 13, 2017 at 2:46 PM, <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:histling-l-request@mailman.yale.edu" target="_blank">histling-l-request@mailman.yale.edu</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Send histling-l mailing list submissions to<br>

<br>
Does anyone know of a reconstruction in which someone has posited a regular change involving insertion of a consonant between two other consonants? I had always thought of excrescence as a sound change that operates on individual words in an unpredictable fashion (that is, the low-level transitional consonant is phonologized unpredictably), but am wondering if there are cases where someone believes it to have operated in a regular, rule-governed fashion to an entire set of words.<br>
I am especially interested in insertions of the ?thimble?/?hombre? type, but would be interested in examples of the ?Hampshire? type as well.<br>
Many thanks in advance!<br>
Martha Ratliff<br>
