Fortition is realized when fricatives turn into stops,
stops become geminated and/or voiced if unvoiced. 


For example, the combination of the past tense marker plus the genitive triggers voiced fortition and syncope with ''kilay'' "heart, interior" in the phrase (Tashunka's transcription) ''Junyé:ne glai haglev man ukanyen'' "I will enter your house and ruin you", i.e. ''junyé:ne glái << jula-<u>nai</u>-<u>na</u> kilay''.  If the future marker ''-nai-'' did not appear, fortition would not be triggered.  Instead, the result will be ''Julana <u>ki</u>lai haglev man ukanyen'' "I am entering your house to ruin you."
