Supporting funds have been made available by a National Science Foundation Grant, #G22152, A. K. Romney, Principal Investigator. We are especially indebted to Roy D'Andrade, Charles Frake, Terrence Kaufman, Paul Kay, Duane Metzger, and Gerald Williams for their critical comments and readings of earlier drafts. This final version has gained much from the kind help of Sydney Lamb, who agreed to serve as discussant of the paper at the Merida Conference. Of his numerous suggestions, both written and verbal, we have incorporated many. The responsibility for the paper in its present form, however, is solely ours.
