However, remember that alveolar stops (e.g. /t/) can never occur before /i/ and /ʎ/ (with any phonation), nor before tense voice /eʔ/ and /ɘʔ/, nor before diphthongs starting with these. If a verb begins with a hard consonant followed by one of these vowels, a different infix is used, normally -íeys- e.g. | |||
qinyieliqaa /ʔiɲeliʔaː/ - to pierce, verb-focus | |||
qíeysinyieliqaa /ʔeiʔsiɲeliʔaː/ - to pierce, verb-focus, perfective antipassive | |||
kivieliqiewn /kiɥeliʔeuɴ/ - to die, verb-focus | |||
kíeysivieliqiewn /keiʔsiɥeliʔeuɴ/ - to die, verb-focus, perfective antipassive | |||
However, if the first vowel of the verb root had tense voice, the ejective -tts- is used instead e.g. | |||
kátla /kaʔtɬa/ - to make someone's acquaintance, verb focus | |||
kíeyttsátla /keiʔtsʼaʔtɬa/ - to make someone's acquaintance, verb-focus, perfective antipassive | |||
qíeyttsíeypyiqiiey /ʔeiʔtsʼeiʔpʲiʔeːi/ - to spit out, verb-focus, perfective antipassive | |||
