Word-final resonants in Sino-Caucasian
汉-高加索语言中的词尾辅音
S. A. Starostin

Abstract 摘要
Evidence is presented for a rule, according to which word-final clusters of resonants and laryngeal stops develop into plain resonants in Sino-Tibetan, while the clusters of resonants and laryngeal fricatives are dropped. The paper contains more than a hundred comparisons between North Caucasian and Sino-Tibetan demonstrating this phonetic law.

这里为一条规则提供了证据。根据这一规则,在汉藏语中辅音与喉塞音词尾音丛(-r)演变成 -r, 而辅音与喉擦音词尾音丛(-hr) 则丢失。本文通过一百余条 North Caucasian 与汉藏语之间的比较证明了这一规则。
