Proto-Uto-Aztecans on their way to the Proto-Aztecan homeland: linguistic evidence

The Uto-Aztecan language family is one of the largest genetically related groups of the Americas, whose speakers inhabited a vast territory, extending from the state of Oregon to Panama. The paper is based on the observation that six Proto-Uto-Aztecan animal names received the augemnt *­yoː in Proto-Aztecan. This augment can be interpreted as a suffix of abstract possession which derives abstract nouns and indicates possession of the object or quality. Thus, Proto-Aztecan ‘coyote’ *koyoːliteraly means ‘one of the coyote’s, somewhat like the coyote’, ‘owl’ *t koloː‘one of the owl’s, somewhat like the owl’, etc. This change in meaning implies that the Proto-Uto-Aztecan homeland must have been ecologically different from the place to which speakers of Proto-Aztecan later migrated.
