This rule is described in the Rules chapter of this document in Assimilation of [ɾ]. Specifically, /r/ is deleted when immediately followed by /ž/. For example, the possessive adjective ''inkur'' ‘your’, from earlier ''*inkwar'' /inkwar/ (cf. Gothic ''igqar''), has the genitive plural form ''inkuža'' from earlier ''*inkwarǣzō'' /inkwarɛːzoː/ (Gothic ''igqaraizō'') rather than the otherwise expected ''**inkurža''. Similarly, ''*marzjan'' ‘to offend’ and ''*borza'' /bɔrza/ ‘perch, bass’ → ''mežin'', ''boža''. | ||
