["maë] ‘small’ ["m j aë] b. ‘crumbled, kneaded (pa. t.)’ ( 2 ) a. ["tok] ‘ fl ow (n.)’ ["t j ok] b. ‘ fl owed (pa. t.)’ Before front vowels Before [i]/[1] : what is the underlying contrast? ( 3 ) a. ["p1ë] ‘eagerness’ ["p j ië] b. ‘(he) drank’ ( 4 ) Before /e/ : [C E ] are borrowings, albeit well-nativized a.
