ABSTRACT
The result is an alternation, in verbs, of w or h in unprefixed, Unchanged forms with o in prefixed forms and we in Changed forms. The o which results from contraction surfaces in initial position in third person forms as the result of a rule which deletes initial lw I before I ol. Several stems which alternate according to this pattern are shown in (153)-(156). I give first the underlying form of the stem, then forms showing deletion, contraction, and Change.
