Summary

In this paper we consider the lexical distribution of accentual classes in some Basque prosodic systems that look especially archaic (those used in Goizueta, Western Navarre, and in Northern Bizkaian) in order to establish the relative chronology of several morphophonological changes including plural formation and different types of compounding. In addition, we reconsider previous hypotheses on the development of Basque accentuation on the light of some new data.
