ABSTRACT
The full range of variants of the prefix in verbs of these types cannot be handled in purely phonological terms in any case. Where the base of the verb is a dependent noun in which the prefixes appear without /t/ before a vowel, prefixed and Changed forms of the verb are typically formed as if the third person prefix were doubled, giving underlying jwaw-/, as shown in (208). 20 Yet we clearly do not want to set up jwaw / as the underlying form of the prefix in any other context.
