Part I presents some 980 reconstructions for Proto-Micronesian,Proto-Central Micronesian, and Proto-Western Micronesian. Part 2 (to appearin volume 42 [2]) gives reconstructions for two additional subgroups withinProto-Micronesian: Proto-Pohnpeic and Proto-Chuukic, and their immediateancestor, Pinto-Pohnpeic-Chuukic. A handful of putative loans are alsoidentified, and a single English finder list is provided for all of thereconstructions.
INTRODUCTION. Lexical data for a number of Micronesian languagesbegan to be collected systematically in the mid-1960s as part of thedevelopment of language lessons for the U.S. Peace Corps and in connectionwith other Micronesian language projects that followed at the University ofHawai'i. These data were stored on a mainframe computer using programsthen being developed (Hsu and Peters 1984), and eventually dictionaries werepublished for a number of the languages included in this study (Elbert 1972,Abo et al. 1976, Lee 1976, Sohn and Tawerilmang 1976, Harrison and Albert1977, Jensen 1977, Rehg and Sohl 1979, Goodenough and Sugita 1980, Jacksonand Mark 1991). Comparative work using these data began with Marck 1977,focusing on the group of languages referred to as Nuclear Micronesian. In thenext several years, the authors of the current study put the initial data oncomputer and substantially added to them by directly eliciting informationfrom speakers of Micronesian languages who were students in th e BilingualEducation Project for Micronesia at the University of Hawai'i. Hsu(1976) was especially helpful in cognate searches. This early activityculminated in a printout identified as Bender et al. 1984. Preliminaryfindings and some of the computer programs being used in the comparative workare summarized in Bender and Wang 1985. More recent work and the initialcompilation of this presentation of the data have been done primarily by thesecond author.
CLASSIFICATION OF SUBGROUPINGS IN NUCLEAR MICRONESIAN. In thisetymological dictionary we attribute to Proto-Micronesian (PMc) an inheritedlexical item shared between a Chuukic or a Pohnpeic language, or Marshalleseor Kiribati (Gilbertese), on the one hand, and Kosraean (Kusaiean), on theother. We have also attributed to PMc some lexical items in only oneMicronesian language that are shared with some other Austronesian languageand cannot be attributed to borrowing, although a systematic search for suchitems has not been made. Following Jackson (1983), we attribute toPinto-Central Micronesian (PCMc) items shared by Kiribati and any otherMicronesian language lower in the tree of figure I, but not found in anyother Austronesian language, and we attribute to Pinto-Western Micronesian(PWMc) items shared by Marshallese and any other language lower in the tree,but not found in any other Austronesian language. (Micronesian languages notshown in figure r include Sonsorolese [SNs] and Tobi [TOB] [which shou ld bepositioned on a par with PuA], the Tanapag dialect of Carolinian [CRN] [whichshould be included with PUL, CHK, and MRT within PECk], and Pingelapese [PNG][which should be included with PON and MOK under PPC]). Protoforms from allthree languages--PMc, PCMc, and PWMc--are inter-spersed in a singlealphabetized list in part I of this dictionary. Part 2 (in a future issue)will give protoforms for Proto-Chuukic (PCk), Proto-Pohnpeic (PPON), andProto-Pohnpeic-Chuukic (PPC) for which no higher-level reconstructions arenow possible. Consonant correspondences are given in tables 3 and 4. Vowelcorrespondences receive preliminary discussion in Jackson 1983:321-323 andGoodenough 1992.
Work for the future includes a careful review of evidence ofloanwords from Marshallese and Kiribati not only in Kosraean but also in thePohnpeic and Chuukic languages (see Rehg and Bender 1990). The seafaringatoll dwellers of the Marshall and Kiribati islands were frequent voyagers tothe high islands of Kosrae and Pohnpei to their west. There werePolynesian-speaking settlers there as well--or at least there were Polynesiancontacts--attested to by loanwords such as Pohnpeian sakaw ('kava'<PN ta-kawa) and Sangaro ('a god' <PN Tangaroa). There hasbeen, moreover, massive borrowing into Kiribati from Samoan and to a lesserextent, more recently, from Tuvaluan. Kiribati speakers have expanded theirsettlements both southward into northern Tuvalu and northward into thesouthern Marshall Islands in the past few hundred years. Marshallese showswhat are clearly loanwords from Kiribati (Bender 1981). Marck (1994) hasreconstructed some Proto-Chuukic and even a few Proto-Micronesian forms whereirregularities of sound correspondences raise the possibility that theyresult from a chain of borrowings rather than being inherited cognates. Suchdifferences are noted under the forms in question. Complicating the problemare some forms that appear to be preserved as inherited cognates in someMicronesian languages and to have been reintroduced from them as loans intoother Micronesian languages. Doublets, related forms such that one of themfits the pattern of sound correspondences in the inherited vocabulary and theother does not, attest to such internal borrowing as well.
ORTHOGRAPHIC SYMBOLS USED. In order to facilitate comparison, thevelar nasal symbol (n) is used in the protolanguages PMc, POc, PCK, and UAN(Dempwolff's Uraustronesisch), and in the nuclear languages beingcompared in lieu of the ng, g, n, and so forth used in their orthographies.The w of labiovelars in the various languages is made superscript, and thisis substituted for the primes of p' and m' used by Marck (1977,1994) and Jackson (1983). We use #1 to represent the palatal nasal of PPC,PMc, POc and UAN; we use R to represent the retroflex continuant ofPuluwatese, CRN Carolinian, and Satawalese, but otherwise as standardly usedin PEO, POc, PMP or UAN, and PAN. We used, a, and u, to represent the lowfront unrounded, the mid central unrounded, the low back rounded, and thehigh central unrounded or rounded vowels of the various Chuukic languages. Weuse [member of] for the lax mid front vowel of Pohnpeian and Pingelapese;Mokilese e and [[x] are both written as following Harrison and Salich (1977).We use o for the lax mid back rounded vowel that is written oa in all of thePohnpeic languages. For Marshallese, we use the phonemic transcription of Aboet al. (1976), but substitute M for b, [m.sup.w] for m, n for g, [k.sup.w]for q, and we use superscript w to show the rounding of [n.sup.w], {w, and[r.sup.w], For Kosracan, we have rewritten the digraph vowels to make theirphonetic value more transparent, as shown in table I. Our orthography for POcis that of Ross (1988), to which we add S to his s. Our orthography for PCKis that of Jackson (1983), to which we add y. Our orthography for PMc is thatof Jackson (1986), except that we substitutes for his d and S for his z, andwe add y and Z The symbol # marks an entry that we consider to be ananalogical back formation.

Heavy l and n reflect *I and *n,respectively, when followed by *a (or, less often, *o), unless the vowelin a contiguous syllable is *i or *u. The heavy consonants r, l, and nmay be rounded to [r.sup.w], [l.sup.w], and [n.sup.w], respectively, bythe same conditioning factors that round k and n to [k.sup.w] and[n.sup.w], respectively (see footnote 8 to table 2).(9)In the Pohnpeic languages, geminate obstruents are realized ashomorganic nasal-obstruent clusters.(10)In the Pohnpeic languages d stands for a voiceless apico- dentalstop, while in Pohnpeian t stands for a voiceless lamino- alveolar stop.(11)The reflex is 0 sporadically before PMC *e.(12)The spelling of geminate reflexes in each of the Chuukie languagesis given following the semicolons below.(13)PMC *1 and *n are reflected as STWl and n, respectively, in amajority of instances; in roughly 25%, however, the reflexes of the twoare switched without obvious conditioning factors, or both are found asvariants. As in WOL and SNS, geminates of the two are merged as nn.

L refers to the section on loans to be included in part 2.
V is sometimes used for a reconstructed vowel of indeterminatequality.
Vowel diacritics are ignored in alphabetizing.
Square brackets enclose two possibilities for protophonemes wherethe evidence is ambiguous or contradictory (e.g., [sS]); the first is usedfor purposes of alphabetization.
"(sic)" 'so, thus' may follow a form thatdiffers from the expected reflex in some way in order to assert that acopying mistake has not occurred.
