It was found that an emphatic consonant affects the steady state and transition of a preceding or following consonant. The upper pharyngeal / lower pharyngeal pairs were found to resemble nonemphatic / emphatic pairs.

Early work on a language generally terminated in the production of a dictionary and a grammar. But the earliest students of Nigerian languages faced a preliminary problem before they could begin any study--they had to discover what languages existed, and how extensive geographically, and important socially, each language was. This paper is an attempt to provide a preliminary survey of the early development of Nigerian linguistics.

An analysis of the event line as determined by the use of the waw conversive construction clears up the misconceptions and reveals some interesting problems in the Indo-European tradition of biblical translation.
