§ This is a very preliminary look at the Stevenson material,
particularly comparing these three languages
§ (and there are three
languages and not two)
§ All of the Temein languages
have clearly undergone the same sequences in terms of phonology and
nominal and verbal morphology
§ However, all have
subsequently undergone independent processes of
elision and borrowing which have resulted in highly diverse
outcomes
§ More work is clearly
required!
