[[#Ratio casuum|Case endings]] can affect the final consonant of a [[#Roots and principle parts|root]], and the final consonant of a root can affect case endings, especially in the [[#Number|singular]]. | |||
This happens in the following way: | |||
*[[#Partitive|partitive]]: following '''/b/''', '''/d/''', '''/g/''', or '''/z/''' the ending '''''-sXb''''' => '''''-zXb''''' | |||
*[[#Genitive|genitive]]: following '''/l/''' the ending '''''-rXz''''' goes to '''''-lXz''''' | |||
*[[#Benefactive|benefactive]]: the ending '''''-prX''''' swallows final '''/b/''' and '''/p/''', and in the case of the former the ending turnss to '''''-brX''''' | |||
*[[#Telic|telic]]: the ending '''''-nkX''''' swallows final '''/k/''' and '''/g/''', and in the case of the latter the ending turns to '''''-ngX''''' | |||
*[[#Locatives|inessive]]: without a vowel in between the ending '''''-bi''''' forces the final consonant to voice, if possible, and furthermore swallows final '''/b/''' and '''/p/''' | |||
*[[#Locatives|superessive]]: without a vowel in between the ending '''''-pi''''' forces the final consonant to devoice, if possible, and furthermore swallows final '''/b/''' and '''/p/''' | |||
*[[#Instrumental/comitative|instrumental]]: without a vowel in between the ending '''''-gdX''''' forces the final consonant to voice, if possible, and furthermore swallows final '''/g/''' and '''/k/''' | |||
*[[#Instrumental/comitative|caritive]]: without a vowel in between the ending '''''-ktX''''' forces the final consonant to devoice, if possible, and furthermore swallows final '''/g/''' and '''/k/''' | |||
