Nún
This irregularity does not hold for all verbs whose C3 = n; specifically, this class is no longer productive with new verbs.
If a unipersonal suffix beginning with an eclipsable consonant is attached, the final nún vanishes, eclipsing the consonant:
1sg: -g 1pc, pl: -dtú, -dtá
For all other suffixes, the nún is written/geminated as normal.
