===Consonant Gradation=== | |||
1) If a syllable should be closed by suffixation and should it begin with a geminate plosive or a plosive following a nasal, a liquid or a vowel then those plosives undergo lenition. This is usually referred to as consonant gradation. | |||
2) The sequences of consonant gradation are as follows: | |||
a) pp > p > w | |||
b) tt > t > r | |||
c) kk > k > M\ | |||
d) mp > mm | |||
e) nt > nn | |||
f) Nk > NN | |||
g) rp > rw | |||
h) rt > rr | |||
i) rk > rM\ | |||
