This paper makes a typological contribution by describing a stress system that uses syllabic trochees while also displaying characteristics more typically associated with a quantity-sensitive language. The description comes from Tohono O’odham. The rhythm \nof this language is quantity-insensitive and trochaic, although the language also displays characteristics often associated with quantity-sensitivity (i.e., long vowels, gemination). \nExamined together, the facts illustrated here demonstrate the prosodic inconsistency of Tohono O’odham: that rhythm and prosodic morphology offer different perspectives on the role played by quantity, and that Tohono O’odham is the first language documented to split its rhythm and prosodic morphology along quantitative lines
