I know precious little about Salishan and analogical levelling therein, but apart from this (ultimately) unconditional fronting of velars I don't see much evidence of palatalisation there.

Do Salishan languages have Ablaut-like processes, or do they possibly have suffixes beginning with front and non-front vowels, which might have set off a process of declensional regularization?
