X /ənk/
1p /-ēnk/
12 /-ankw/
2p /-ēkw/
0 /-k/
3p /-hətīt/
3' /-əlīt/
  • Suffix /-ā(n-)/ almost always /-án/ before a vowel & /-a/ word finally.
  • After a vowel the /ə/ in /-ənk/ & /-əlīt/ is elided, but the other suffix-initial vowels have a /y/ inserted before them.
  • An underlying /ī/ is replaced by /ə/ before this /y/, the /ə/ is colored to /i/, and the /y/ is lost.
  • After other vowels (/ā/ & /ē/) the /y/ is lost without a trace.
  • The variant /-k/ 3 is used after a consonant.
  • The suffix -k is added directly after /m/ @ /n/ giving /nk/.
  • After other consonants/ə/ is inserted before/k/ 3s.

In II stems, a stem-final /t/ combines variously with /-k/ 0: a /ə/ may be inserted, giving /tək/, or /-k/ 0 may be added directly, giving both /hk/ and /h/.

  • Ostensible /-hətīt/ 3p is used after a vowel (/hət/ realized as /ht/); /əhtīt/ 3p (/əht/ realized as /hit/) is used after a consonant preceded by a long vowel; /əhətīt/ 3p (/əhət/ realized as /iht/) is used in most cases after a short-vowel syllable
  • The /-k/ 0 & 3 combines with /-w/ NEG as /-kw/
  • The TI class Theme Sign /-aw/ combines with /-k/ 3 as /-ākw/.

--

  • Direct theme sign (theme 1) /-ā/ appears overtly before a consonant (giving e.g. /-āt/ 3s-3' & /-āhətīt/ 3p-3'), but is dropped before a vowel (giving /-àk/ 1s-3).
  • The underlying presence of /-ā/ before the vowel-initial suffixes is evident, however, in negative forms in which /-w/ NEG intervenes.

  • Central Pronominal Suffixes are entirely distinct from those of the Independent Order.
  • Theme signs basically same as Independent Order, with a few differences in distribution.
  • Peripheral Suffixes, used only to mark heads of participles, are variants of those used on possessed nouns & Independent Order verbs.
