The incorporated form requires a short vowel because the only matching base is the bound root \\-wok-\\, which occurs in the incorporated form. In the initial syllable of a verb root, there are no restrictions on the occurrence of vowel features. Prenasalisation is restricted to the first obstruent in a root. In this language, 1st person singular is marked by an affix which induces nasalisation, but root nasals never initiate the process. Nasalisation in the 1st person form is more limited when the root contains an obstruent. Not just any root with two identical consonants is counted here as pseudoreduplicated, so this observation is not vacuous. Total reduplication of a quadrisyllabic root produces a dipodal reduplicant, which is worse aligned than the monopodal reduplicant (37a). The evidence that the initial vowel is not underlying is that it is absent when the same root occurs in polysyllabic words. Even if an underlyingly monosyllabic root is pronounced with an intrusive copy vowel, an epenthetic copy vowel must also be added, as shown in (6). Just in case the root is monosyllabic, as in (9), the subject prefix is lengthened. Such constraints would govern identity between all corresponding features regardless of whether they are attached to a root node or not. The term prosodic feature refers here to the phonological exponent of a featural morpheme which is underlyingly free and unattached to a root node. Rosenthall's major claim is that the attested shapes of root augmentations follow from various templatic requirements on the bases of plural affixation. The constraint hierarchy in (9) exemplifies the root phonology. See all examples of root These examples are from corpora and from sources on the web.
