This paper describes various changes which took place in the prehistory of Blackfoot as it developed from Proto‐Algonquian. The topics include the formation of noninitial verb stems, verb stems with initial change, the outcome of Proto‐Algonquian long vowels, other sound changes, and the body‐part prefix mo-. The proposals in this paper are supported by many new etymologies.
