The adjective ''erva'' "small" both begins and ends with a vowel, as seen from the Ammerkast and the original ''Širkattarnaft'' text. No mutation, vowel syncope, or other sandhi of ''úla'' "you" is indicated. While vowels usually lenite a stop to a fricative, they usually have no effect on a pre-existing fricative in the following word, unless the word has the determiner ''ha='' cliticized to it; such a case would trigger either palatalization and possibly syncope as in ''erva yulka'' << ''erva ha=vûluka''. | The adjective ''erva'' "small" both begins and ends with a vowel, as seen from the Ammerkast and the original ''Širkattarnaft'' text.
