    Word-initial clusters and minimality in Yakima SahaptinWe thank Emmon Bach for his insightful comments on our 2001 LSA presentation on this topic, and for his probing question as to why this phenomenon, then conceived of as bimoraic minimality (Hargus & Beavert 2001), could not be analysed as biconsonantal minimality. We gratefully acknowledge funding for Sahaptin lexicography, which was provided by grants from the University of Washington Royalty Research Fund (2001, to Hargus) and the National Endowment for the Humanities (2004, to Beavert). We thank the editors of Phonology, an anonymous associate editor and three anonymous reviewers for helpful comments on an earlier draft of this article. Finally, we thank Noel Rude for his comments and guidance with Nez Perce. Emily Curtis and Susie Levi also read and commented on an earlier draft. Richard Wright and Pat Shaw provided assistance with Tsou and Kwakw'ala respectively. We are grateful to all for their help.
