d. The notation v̄ indicates the preceding short vowel was lengthened.
2. If a three-segment consonant cluster results from suffixation, then an epenthetic echo vowel is inserted after the first segment in the cluster.
 
===Vowel Harmony===
 
1. Vowels are divided into two harmonic classes for the purposes of vowel harmony:
 
a. High Vowels: /i, ə, u/.
 
b. Low Vowels: /ɛ, a, ɔ/.


2. If a three-segment consonant cluster results from suffixation, then an epenthetic echo vowel ([i] after /aɪ/, [u] after /ɑʊ/) is inserted after the first segment in the cluster.
2. All vowels in a root or particles must belong to the same harmonic class.


3. If /aɪ/ should precede a /j/ onset as the result of suffixation, then it is reduced to [ä].
3. All suffixes have two allomorphs,one containing high vowels, the other containing the corresponding low vowels.


4. If /ɑʊ/ should precede a /ʋ/ onset as the result of suffixation, then it is reduced to [ä].
4. The vowels in a suffix must belong to the same harmonic class as the vowels in the preceding morpheme.
