In this paper, I argue that the reconstruction of both nonnasal sonorants and voiced fricatives for Proto-Athabaskan (Krauss and Leer 1981) is unnecessary, but that these were one and the same, namely, voiced sonorants. The evidence presented by Krauss and Leer favoring both sonorants and voiced fricatives is reevaluated, and it is shown that with current assumptions of phonological theory, the conclusion that both are necessary cannot be upheld. A simplification in the Proto-Athabaskan consonant inventory is achieved by this reanalysis.
