===Assimilation of [ɾ]: ɾ → Ø / __ɾ̩=== | |||
A complicated name for a simple sound change: when ‹r› is followed by ‹ʀ›, it is deleted. This applies mostly to nominative plural nouns and comparative adjectives ending in ‹-ʀ›. | |||
===Insertion of [ə] after Voiced Obstruent: Ø → ə / C[+voice]___+[-voice]=== | |||
When a root ends in a voiced obstruent (i.e. ‹b›, ‹d›, ‹g›, ‹v›, ‹ð›, or ‹ſ›), a schwa is inserted before unvoiced suffixes, (e.g. second person singular indiciative -ſt, third person singular present indicative -ðþ, nominal ending -ðþ, feminine agentive ending -aſtra, or superlative ending -ſt). This also applies to ‹t› – an unvoiced obstruent – before the third person present indicative and nominal -ðþ. (However, as already discussed in the Coronal Consonant Assimilation rule, ‹t› is deleted before ‹ſt›.) | |||
