Abstract

In this paper the author offers a new explanation of the treatments of the consonantal clusters -ns- (with secondary s) and -ns (with primary s) in ancient Greek dialects. According to him, the result of the treatment ns in cluster ans was, through nasalization of the vowel, ãəs. The different solutions in the dialects are due to vocalization of nasal ə (Lesbian: -ais-, -ais; Cyrenaean -ais-; Elean -ais) or contraction ãə > ā (other dialects as, for instance, Attic-Ionic, Laconian, etc.). So, a few dialects maintain ns in cluster ans without nasalization (archaism); some of the dialects have the ending -as originated from the simplification -ans > -as explainable by syntactical phonetics (election). The rest of the dialects have undergone the nasalization of a in cluster ans > ãəs (innovation) and then the denasalization of the results -ais or ās.
