2. If a three-segment consonant cluster results from suffixation, then an epenthetic echo vowel is inserted after the first segment in the cluster. | |||
===Vowel Harmony=== | |||
1. Vowels are divided into two harmonic classes for the purposes of vowel harmony: | |||
a. High Vowels: /i, ə, u/. | |||
b. Low Vowels: /ɛ, a, ɔ/. | |||
2. | 2. All vowels in a root or particles must belong to the same harmonic class. | ||
3. | 3. All suffixes have two allomorphs,one containing high vowels, the other containing the corresponding low vowels. | ||
4. | 4. The vowels in a suffix must belong to the same harmonic class as the vowels in the preceding morpheme. | ||
