===Irrealis stem=== | |||
The irrealis stem is formed through reduplication of the initial syllable (or /a/) of the root. Historically the reduplication feature evoled after the fusion of the intensifying particle '''''[[#Ya|ya]]''''', which then metathesized into /ay/, affecting the quality of the rightmost consonant of the reduplicated pair. Thus /t/ reduplicates into /ŧ/ and so on as follows: | The irrealis stem is formed through reduplication of the initial syllable (or /a/) of the root.
