ABSTRACT
Since the /t/ of /pet-/ is syllabifiable, it does not trigger V-Epenthesis. The /h/ of f-ah-/ remains unsyllabified, however, so it triggeres this rule instead, converting (250) into (251a). The fa/ between /h/ and /m/ is now associated with a V-slot. Schwa Deletion III is therefore inapplicable. Schwa Deletion II applies, however, deleting fa/ before /h/ as shown in (251b). With the loss of word-final empty V, we derive (251c), as required.
