Composite sandhi: obligatory contour and other phenomena.

|-
A case of composite sandhi occurs when the application of an external sandhi rule results in either i) the resetting of or ii) the innovation on an internal sandhi rule.

i) Resetting of an internal sandhi rule: external sandhi triggers obligatory contour, resetting internal sandhi.

1) Internal sandhi: rule -n•k- > -n•g-, lenition of /k/ → /g/ (voicing of /k/)
