====Infinitive assimiliation==== | |||
Class 3 and 4 verbs whose stems end in certain consonants assimilate the ''-r-'' of the infinitive into the final consonant. The assimilation has one of the following results depending on the stem structure: | |||
*If the stem ends in a single ''-s, -r,'' or ''-l'' preceded by a vowel: ''-r-'' is merged with the consonant causing it to be doubled. | |||
*If the stem ends in ''-r'' or ''-l'' that is double or preceded by a consonant: ''-r-'' is dropped. | |||
Note that ''-r-'' is neither dropped nor assimilated when it occurs after ''-s'' when it is doubled or occurs after a consonant. | |||
When necessary, the end of the stem can be indicated with an apostrophe. For example: | |||
*When ''-r-'' merges with the following consonant: ''gual'le, fiar're, es'se'' | |||
*When ''-r-'' is dropped: ''tuall'e'' | |||
