This paper is a preliminary typological comparison of nominal and verbal roots in the two Yukian branches, Wappo and Northern Yukian. Particular attention is given to fossilized morphological processes, which are parallel and may provide an explanation for the seeming irregularity of some phonetic relationships that, according to Sawyer (1980), point to language contact rather than to genetic relationship. I argue that these morphological fossils amount to shared irregularities and are relics of an ancient parent language. Support for this thesis is drawn from Wintu, where similar processes exist.
