In this paper I suggest that the long-elusive explanation of the Nahuatl saltillo lies in sound laws that refer to specific combinations of specific syllable-final consonants (some of them originally syllable-medial ones that become syllable-final after syncope) in specific environments. Once we realize that there is more than one source for the saltillo, we are led toward a solution to one of the longest-standing issues in Uto-Aztecan comparative linguistics. Although many questions cannot be settled finally at this stage (because of the paucity of examples where we can be sure of the exact shape of the Proto- Uto- Aztecan forms), it is important to note that the evidence does appear sufficient to provide new support for the reconstruction of certain syllable-final conson- ants in PUA.
