ni|| > /ku ni/ 'she does not give'. Einaudi finds one counterexample, ||kite + te|| > /kite te/ 'she wanted to hit him'. C1C1 > C1 ||ca ha + ay + YE|| > ||ca hay + YE|| > /ca haye/ 'you kill'. The following rule optionally applies to compounds: XV#CY > XCY ||cake + pocka|| > /cakpocka/ 'hand + round' = 'fist'. That may lead to otherwise-disallowed clusters, including geminates: ||ayapi + pa + są|| > /ayappasa/ 'eagle + head + white' = 'bald eagle' ||ndesi + xidi|| > /ndesxidi/ 'snake + chief' = 'rattlesnake'. The following rule applies to compounds: Vn#C > V̨#C ||dani + hudi|| > ||dan + hudi|| > /dąhudi/ 'eight'. The following rules are conditioned by person markers on nouns and verbs: Stems beginning with /h/ and some beginning with /y/ (morphophonemically distinguished as ||Y||) undergo the following (obligatory for h-stems but optional for Y-stems): ||Y, h|| > ∅ / ||nk||___, ||ay||___ ||nk + Yehǫ + ni|| > /nkehǫni/ 'I know' ||nk + hu + di|| > /nkudi/ 'I come from'. However, that does not apply for y-initial (rather than Y-initial) stems: ||nk + yaǫni|| > /nkyaǫni/ 'I sing'. The following rule applies before roots and the dative marker ki: ||nk|| > /x/ /___k ||nk + ku|| > /xku/ 'I come back hither', ||nk + ki + ku|| > /xkiku/ 'I gave him' ||nk|| > /ǫ/ /___n (optionally /m/, /p/) ||nk + nąki|| > /ǫnąki/ 'I sit' ||nk + pxitu|| > /ǫpxitu/ 'we cheat' ||nk|| > /n/ /___other consonants (optional except before /p/ and for /m/ unless it was covered by the previous rule) ||nk + yą ni|| > /nyą ni/ 'I hate him' but ||nk + sįto|| > /nksįto/ 'I am a boy' ||nk|| > /nk/ /___V ||nk + ǫ|| > /nkǫ/ 'I make' (optionally) ||ay|| > /aya~ya/ /___k,x ||ay + kide|| > /yakide/ 'you go home' ||ay + kitupe|| > /ayakitupe/ 'you carry on your shoulder' ||ay|| > /i/ /___C ||ay + duti + tu|| > ||ay + duxtu|| > /iduxtu/ 'you pl. eat' ||ay|| > /ay~y~iy/ /___V ||ay + įsihi + xti|| > /ayįsihi xti/ 'you fear greatly' ||ay + andE hi ni|| > /yanda hi ni/ 'you shall be so' ||ay + E|| > /iye/ 'you say'. The use of different allomorphs in free variation is attested for some verbs. The next four rules combine personal affixes and so apply only to
