We define an analogous bijection for all nonexceptional affine types, thereby proving (in this special case) the fermionic formulas conjectured by Hatayama, Kuniba, Takagi, Tsuboi, Yamada, and the first author.34 pages; axodraw.sty file requiredQuantum AlgebraCombinatorics17B37; 82B23; 05A19; 81R50; 05E15text
