• gada-(Algonquin)

In Algonquin, this preverb has the formgada- when there is no prefix (gada-maajaa "he/she will leave",giga-maajaa "you will leave"). It is likely thatgada- is the original form of this preverb, and the allomorphy betweenda- andga- in other dialects is the result of a historical process of syncopation that deleted a metrically weak syllable. With no prefix, the syllablega was weak and consequently was deleted (*gadá-maajaa >da-maajaa), but when a prefix was added,ga was in a strong position, and soda was deleted instead (*ningáda-maajaa >ninga-maajaa). The formji- similarly appears asgiji- in Algonquin. The initial change formge- would be from *geda-, where the first syllable would have been strong because it contained a long vowel.
