Ojibwe

[edit]Etymology
[edit]In Algonquin, this preverb has the form gada- when there is no prefix (gada-maajaa "he/she will leave", giga-maajaa "you will leave"). It is likely that gada- is the original form of this preverb, and the allomorphy between da- and ga- in other dialects is the result of a historical process of syncopation that deleted a metrically weak syllable. With no prefix, the syllable ga was weak and consequently was deleted (*gadá-maajaa > da-maajaa), but when a prefix was added, ga was in a strong position, and so da was deleted instead (*ningáda-maajaa > ninga-maajaa). The form ji- similarly appears as giji- in Algonquin. The initial change form ge- would be from *geda-, where the first syllable would have been strong because it contained a long vowel.
Preverb
[edit]da- (plain conjunct ji- or da-, changed conjunct ge-)
- future tense marker
- wiisiniwag — they eat
- da-wiisiniwag — they will eat
- ninga-wiisin — I will eat
- (some speakers) form of daa- used in the conjunct order
Usage notes
[edit]- With a personal prefix, the form ga- is used.
- For some speakers, the second-person form giga- contracts to ga-.
- For some speakers, ga- and ge- become gad- and ged- before a vowel.
