====== Ok ======

Timothy Usher, Santa Fe Institute

===== Situation =====
The Ok family is comprised of perhaps nineteen languages spoken from the lowlands south of New Guinea's central cordillera to the hills north of it in a region straddling Indonesia's Papua province and Papua New Guinea's Western and Sandaun provinces. The physical diversity of these regions spans two of New Guinea's canonical subsistence regimes, with sago as the staple in the lowlands and taro in the highlands. The internal relationships among Ok's subfamilies as well as the special relationship to Digul River suggest that Proto-Ok was originally spoken in the central western portion of this range, and that the northeastward expansion of the Mountain Ok and the southward expansion of the Lowland Ok occured in relatively recent times.

===== Subclassification =====
The internal classification of the Ok family is as follows:\\
\\

Ok\\
West Ok

Ngalum

Central Ok

Tangko

Nakai-Naki

Lowland Ok

Ninggerum

Iwur-Komanarepket

Muyu

Mountain Ok

Mian-Suganga

Central Mountain Ok

===== History of classification =====

Austen (1923: 347)

Capell (1949: 374) (CHECK)

Healey (1964, 1970)

Voorhoeve (1968), (1975), Wurm (1982)

Greenberg (1971: 825-826) placed both the Ok group (wrongly including Dumut as well as Aekyom) and Awju group in his Southwestern division of Indo-Pacific, alongside Marind-Yaqay and Boazi (Marind group,) Lower Fly River (Tirio group) and Kratke Range (Kukukuku group.) These are now seen to comprise three distinct subgroups of Trans New Guinea, Digul-River Ok, Fly River and Kratke Range of the Morobe-Eastern Highlands subgroup.

===== Historical phonology =====
**[under construction]**\\
\\

Proto-Ok had perhaps 15 consonants and 6 vowels as follows:

|< - 60px 60px 60px 60px 60px >|
|  *m   |  *n   |        |       |        |
|  *p   |  *t   |   *s   |  *k   |  *kʷ   |
|  *mb  |  *nd  |  *ndz  |  *ŋg  |  *ŋgʷ  |
|  *w   |  *ɾ   |   *j   |       |        |


|< - 60px 60px 60px >|
|  *i:  |  *ʉ  |  *u:  |
|  *e   |      |  *o   |
|       |  *a  |       |

**[Note: vowels were originally based mostly upon Telefol and are under revision]**\\
\\

Any consonant and any vowel can occur initially, medially or finally, excepting perhaps /*ŋg/ which may not have occurred initially due to the merger of Digul River initial /*ŋg/ with /*k/ in Proto-Ok. Laminals /*s *ndz/ are rare. Consonant clusters occur only in compounds.\\
\\

Initial consonants correspond as follows:

These correspondences are exemplified as follows, with Ngalum forms drawn from Hylkema (1996 ibid.) Our reconstructions of Mountain Ok and Lowland Ok are greatly indebted to those presented in Healey (1964: 133-167, 170-180, 182-188) and a number of reconstructions presented here appeared therein in similar or identical form. For clarity of presentation, the general dispositions of initial consonants will presented first, then those of medial consonants, then those of final cononants, followed by those of vowels. Some details of the forms which follow are necessarily tentative. The absence of a high or low tone on a Mountain Ok vowel indicates that its tone isn't known.\\

This correspondence is identified as /*p/ rather than /*f/ is because final /*p/ is retained as such, while final /*mb/ has merged with /*p/ or /*m/; to reconstruct /*f/ would require that these are realized as [*p] finally, or the unnecessary creation of a new phoneme /*p/ which occurs only finally.

Lowland Ok's deocclusion of [f ɸ] to [h] is shared with Marind-Yaqay to the southwest, suggesting that these families were once contiguous to proto-Lowland Ok before being pushed southward and westward respectively by the Awyu and Dumut expansions.\\

It may be observed that initial velar stop /*k/ is roughly twice as common as initial /*t/ and even more so that initial /*p/. This is not true of medial or final /*k/ (below.) Conversely, while initial /*ŋg/ is very rare at best, and may not have existed at all, medial and final /*ŋg/ are about as common as /*k/. The reason for this is that initial but not medial or final Digul River-Ok /*ŋg/ has merged with /*k/ in Ok.\\
\\

Initial /*s/ is uncommon. It is merged with /*t/ in Lowland Ok initially as well as finally (below):

Initial prenasalized bilabial stop /*mb/ is generally realized as voiced [b] in all descendants, though traces of prenasalization in this position are found in Mian (Fedden 2007: 37) and in Central Ok:

Initial /*ndz/ is clearly attested in only one example, of which no West Ok reflex is known:

|< - 100px 100px 100px 100px 100px 100px 100px >|

This is answered by /*dzup/ in Becking River; the correspondence of the finals supports the assumption of cognacy, rather than three distinct roots as they would have to be without positing this correspondence.\\
\\

While both Mountain Ok has a number of roots beginning with /*ŋg/, there is very little evidence to support this initial in Ok, in keeping with the assumption that DIgul River Ok /*ŋg/ had in most or all instances merged with initial /*k/:

Final laminal /*ndz/ has been identified in only one example. It is reflected dropped in the western families and merged with /*s/ in Mountain Ok. Ninggirum nasalized /ã/ mayb indicate Lowland Ok /*andz/ [ãr] rather than /*ar/:

Final velar /*ŋg/ is realized as [*ŋ] in all descendants, an allophony which likely predates proto-Ok:

Due to the mergers outlined above, there are several situations in which the value of the final consonant cannot be determined:

It is unfortunate in this respect that two of the best attested Ok and Digul River languages, Hylkema's (1996) Ngalum and van Enk and de Vries' (1997) Korowai, do not distinguish the reflexes of /*nd *r/, so an ouctomparison such as Korowai /xa'wil/ "hornbill" is of no help.\\

In addition to the most straightforward medial and final correspondences, there are a number of examples in which a disyllabic root with a final vowel is reduced to a monosyllable in Mountain Ok. These usually take high tone:

It may observed that when medials /*mb *nd/ bcome final in Mountain Ok due to reduction, their reflexes are merged with those of /*m *n/, in parallel with the reflex of /*ŋg/ as [ŋ]:\\

Two apparent exceptions are found in Healey (1964: 186.) The first is “tortoise, turtle”, but /abom/ is given only for Angkiakmin Faiwol, where it might easily be a loan from Lowland Ok /*ambom/ to the southwest.. The second is Mountain Ok <*bakan> ~ <*baKon> “ground”, the uncertainty of Healey's vowel reflecting unexpected Tifal /bakón/ (Healey and Steinkraus 1972. 15;) this is likely a doublet borrowed from Ngalum-Sibil /bakon/ to the northwest.\\

The appearance of initial /*j/ in Lowland Ok third persons is unexpected and unexplained.\\
\\

An explanation of the unusual gloss "3 pl. incl." is in order. It may be seen that the suffix /*-p/ indicates the inclusion of the second person. There are two forms of the second person plural in both Lowland Ok and Mountain Ok, one with initial /*k/ and one without it. The first of these is the regular reflex of Digul River-Ok /*ŋgip/; the second is found only in Ok . These cannot be regularly reduced to a single form, and the Western families' /*ip/ cannot reflect /*kip/. The solution adopted here assumes that /*-p/ could be added to the third person plural with the meaning, "they and you (sg.)," as opposed to "you (sg.) and [your companions]," and that this form /*ip/ has replaced /*kip/ in many descendants. Southern Kati, for example, has both forms (q.v.Drabbe 1954: 162-163;) however, the semantic distinction proposed here is not directly attested.

===== Verbal morphology =====
Excepting the first person singular, postposed verbal subjects appear to have been derived from encliticized forms of the free pronouns (above,) with Kopkaka drawn from Kroneman (2010: 12-19,) Ngalum from Hylkema (1996: 19-…) and Nagi from Williamson (2010: 30-61) (q.v. Healey 1964: 71, de Vries, Wester and van den Heuvel 2012: 299):
