===Insertion of [ə] after Voiced Obstruent: Ø → ə / C[+voice]___+[-voice]===
===Insertion of [ə] after Voiced Obstruent: Ø → ə / C[+voice]___+[-voice]===
When a root ends in a voiced obstruent (i.e. ‹b›, ‹d›, ‹g›, ‹v›, ‹ð›, or ‹ſ›), a schwa is inserted before unvoiced suffixes, (e.g. second person singular indiciative -''ſt'', third person singular present indicative -''ðþ'', nominal ending -''ðþ'', feminine agentive ending -''aſtra'', or superlative ending -''ſt''). This also applies to ‹t›  – an unvoiced obstruent – before the third person present indicative and nominal -''ðþ''. (However, as already discussed in the '''Coronal Consonant Assimilation rule''', ‹t› is deleted before ''ſt''.)
