A special case of alternation are the collective nouns which are formed using the circumfix e-[root]-t, where, if the final phoneme of the root word is an elongated non-nasal consonant or a consonant cluster, the entire final consonant cluster becomes a ''stófð'': | |||
: ''efjællt'' [əˈfjæ:ˀ], "mountain range" | |||
: ''efuglt'' [ə̯ˈfu:ˀ], "poultry, birds" | |||
but | |||
: ''ebejnt'' [əˈbai̯nt], "skeleton, bones". | |||
