The alveolar taps found in Numic languages seem to pattern with spirants, and virtually every scholar working on these languages appears to have assumed that they result from the same process that is responsible for the spirants. We find no phonological justification for such an assumption. Our analysis of Central Numic taps argues that they are due to a distinct rule that bleeds spirantization. When we extend our analysis to Western and Southern Numic, we are forced to conclude that in no Numic language have the taps ever belonged to a series of spirants.
