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.

da- (plain conjunct ji- or da-, changed conjunct ge-)

  1. future tense marker
    • wiisiniwagthey eat
    • da-wiisiniwagthey will eat
    • ninga-wiisinI will eat
  2. (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.
