-Note that the grapeme &lt;s&gt; is pronounced /ʃ/ or /s̻/ when followed by [i] (e.g. ''sinkokah'' "orca"), or in coda position (''Nanhoska'' "the Nanhoshka people"). A sound shift occurred in the Konismak dialect that spread to the southeastern portion of the country a few decades after the Allen-Mills system was devised. The digraph &lt;sh&gt; was retained for all other cases.
+Note that the grapeme &lt;s&gt; is pronounced /ʃ/ or /s̺/ when followed by [i] (e.g. ''sinkokah'' "orca"), or in coda position (''Nanhoska'' "the Nanhoshka people"). A few decades after the Allen-Mills transcription system was developed, a sound shift in the northwestern Hoyampe dialect, whereby /s/ shifted to the voiceless apico-alveolar fricative  /s̺/ when followed by /i/ or in coda position.  A similar sound shift occurred at around the same time in the northeastern Konismak dialect (possibly the result of the Hoyampe sound shift), but it was the voiceless palato-alveolar fricative /ʃ/ that appeared.  It was this sound shift that spread out through the rest of the country.  The original Allen-Mills digraph &lt;sh&gt; was retained for all other cases.
