Chukchi women's language differs from the Chukchi men's variety in a number of synchronically unpredictable ways, particularly with respect to an alternation between r and c/c. This article shows that this alternation is nonarbitrary, originating from the asymmetric collapse of three cognate sets into two, such that in men's Chukchi *r and *d > r and *c > ', whereas in women's Chukchi *r > r and *d and *c > c. Arguments are made that the historical motivation for this can be found in a process of dialect mixing whereby Chukchi women adopted features of nonnative Chukchi accent as a social marker.
