Previous work on Santa Ana Keres in the 1960s did a good job of describing the language, but it did not come with a robust analysis; this has brought difficulty in teaching the language as part of a revitalization program, so in-depth analysis is necessary. Here I lay the foundations for future work on Santa Ana Keres by analyzing the existing data. I identified some correlations evident therein, corroborated by similar observations in later research on other Keresan languages: these include a possible split-intransitive alignment and a palatalization process in the pronominal prefixes. I mentioned certain points of contention, like the shape of the verb stem and laryngeal allophony in the prefixes, and offer my hypotheses. I finish with some remarks on what work needs to be done to definitively resolve these problems.
