1. Vowels are divided into two harmonic classes for the purposes of vowel harmony:


a. High Vowels: /i, ə, u/
a. High Vowels: /i, ə, u/.
 
b. Low Vowels: /ɛ, a, ɔ/.
 
2. All vowels in a root or particles must belong to the same harmonic class.
 
3. All suffixes have two allomorphs,one containing high vowels, the other containing the corresponding low vowels.


b. Low Vowels: /ɛ, a, ɔ/
4. The vowels in a suffix must belong to the same harmonic class as the vowels in the preceding morpheme.
