If a verb begins with a hard consonant followed by one of these vowels, a different infix is used, normally -íeys- e.g.

<h4>Vowel Replacement</h4>
<h4>Vowel Replacement</h4>


All Antarctican verbs use infixation to mark 1st person exclusive objects, whom, what (as a direct object), the imperfective antipassive, and the superordinate voice. However, there is a subset of verbs that use vowel replacement to mark 1st person inclusive objects, 2nd person objects, the reflexive voice, and the perfective antipassive.

However, there is a subset of verbs that use vowel replacement to mark 1st person inclusive objects, 2nd person objects, and the perfective antipassive.


These are verbs where either a) the first vowel is short, modally voiced /i/, the second vowel has breathy voice, and there is no nasal intervening (plain nasals, prestopped nasals, and the placeless nasal /&#628;/ all count) or b) the first vowel is short, modally voiced /&#654;/, which is immediately followed by a voiceless obstruent, without /&#628;/ intervening or c) the first vowel is short, modally voiced /&#654;/, which is immediately followed by an approximant and then a vowel with breathy voice, without /&#628;/ intervening
