====== Atohaim ====== Timothy Usher, Santa Fe Institute ===== Situation ===== Atohaim (Atohwaim, Atoheim,) known also as Kaugat, is spoken by approximately 700 people (1971) living in five villages along the Cook and Kronkel rivers just inland from the Casuarina coast in the southwest of Indonesia's Papua province. Voorhoeve names these villages as Jakamit, Sanem, Sinepit, Ajkut and Kajpom, with Jakamit on the Kronkel speaking one dialect and the other four along the Cook speaking another. Voorhoeve calculates 93% cognacy between Kronkel and Cook river dialects. Atohaim's nearest relatives are the Gondu River languages immediately to the southeast (Voorhoeve 1971: 79-82, 87, 1975: 366-367.) ===== Sources ===== Voorhoeve (1971: 79-88) general description and (pp. 110-114) 97 comparative terms for Kaugat of Jakamit and Sinepit villages Voorhoeve (1975: 368-369) sketch phonology and pronouns for Kaugat Voorhoeve (2007) comparative vocabulary of Kaugat Clouse (1987) 145 comparative terms for Atoheim of Jaukui village Kim, Clouse and Price (1987) comparative vocabulary for Atohwaim (unobtained) Sawi and Sidabutar (2002) 235 comparative terms for Atohaim (Atohwaim) of Yagamit and Yahui vollages ===== Phonology ===== **[under construction]**\\ \\ Voorhoeve (1971: 82-85, 1975: 369-369) gives 13 consonants and 7 vowels for Kaugat of Sinepit as follows: |< -
