Many of the shared phonological innovations that define a Malayo-Polynesian subgroup of the Austronesian languages are either sporadic or apply in very I1.IIricted phonological environments, and so are easily overlooked. This squib lids two new pieces of evidence for a Malayo-Polynesian subgroup that are of this type. The first is an apparent conditioned change by which PAN *RVj became PMP *IVj, leaving no instances of the former sequence in MP languages. The second is a complex of changes that altered PAN *SayaN to PMP *anay 'termite'. Although some features of each innovation leave the direction of change indeterminate, others point clearly to the MP languages as the innovative set.
