| Sumario: | The article focuses on the reassessment of the Hokan hypothesis, specifically examining sound correspondences involving labial and coronal obstruents in Hokan languages. The author applies the traditional comparative method to analyze these correspondences and compares the findings with Terrence Kaufman's 1989 reconstruction of Proto-Hokan. The study reveals significant differences in the proposed phonological system, suggesting a more compact structure with fewer daughter languages and etymologies than previously recognized. The author emphasizes the importance of applying rigorous comparative methods to further investigate the relationships among Hokan languages. |
