A less common alternation is that of 〈b〉 and 〈v〉. This occurs in the same environment as the second type of palatalization (above), but instead of a true palatalization, instead there is a shift of 〈v〉 to 〈b〉; or, more accurately, some paradigms without an original 〈j〉 are able to shift from 〈b〉 to 〈v〉 when intervocalic, but those with 〈j〉 are blocked from spirantizing. | A less common alternation is that of 〈b〉 and 〈v〉.
