There is a lot that happens in Gutish when words encounter other words or receive certain inflectional endings. Generally this has to do with the letter ending a root. | There is a lot that happens in Gutish when words encounter other words or receive certain inflectional endings.

Roots ending in ‹d› or ‹g›, for instance, become palatalized before ‹s›. E.g. the nominative form of ''dag'' ‘day’ is ''daǧ'' rather than the otherwise expected **''dags''. Furthermore, ‹d› becomes spirantized between two vowels, so some roots may have as many as three forms for one declension. E.g. ''bard'' ‘beard’ has the nominative ''bar'''ǧ''''', dative ''bar'''ð'''a'', and accusative ''bar'''d'''''. More of this will be discussed in the chapters on declension of Nouns and Adjectives and the conjugation of Verbs, but some basics will be laid out here. | Roots ending in ‹d› or ‹g›, for instance, become palatalized before ‹s›.
