Abstract
During more than a century of investigation, northwestern Karaim has been labelled as being consonant-, vowel- and syllable-harmonical. The present paper attempts at summarizing the debate and drawing some conclusions from it. Views of 36 researchers are presented chronologically together with a commentary and information on their impact on our discussion.
