Onset mutations
Mutation context and mutation continuities
Onset mutation is triggered by the prepositions governing the genitive and the accusative cases. It is analyzed as happening along a continuum:
The unmodified consonant would have a mutation of grade cero.
The preposition ‹ó› governs the genitive (GEN) and triggers one degree of mutation.
The preposition ‹tró› governs the accusative (AKK) and triggers two degrees of mutation.
THIS SECTION WILL BE REVISITED TO MAKE A BETTER GROUPING OF THE MUTATIONS BY TYPE
