	These arise from when the first vowel has breathy or tense voice, but the first consonant is underlyingly a voiced obstruent or a prestopped nasal. These can only occur before modally voiced vowels, and are thus modified before the vowel with breathy or tense voice. But if word has floating modal phonation, then the vowel there will have modal voice and the underlying consonant will surface there.

	`myùebyijin /ʱmʲɨʱbʲiɟiɴ/ - my mouth, ergative		`myùebyijin /ʱmʲɨʱbʲiɟiɴ/ - my mouth, ergative

	~~=====Prediction of Floating Phonation=====~~

	~~As a rule, whether or not a noun has floating phonation cannot be~~
	~~predicted. The only time when it is possible to do so is for absolutive nouns,~~
	~~if, in the ergative form, the first vowel loses its~~
	~~breathy or tense phonation and becomes modally voiced. In this case, the rules~~
	~~are given below:~~

	~~ ~~

	~~======Sonorant Initial Stem======~~

	~~If the~~
	~~absolutive stem begins with a sonorant (nasal or approximant), and that~~
	~~sonorant becomes devoiced when the vowel after it acquires modal voice in the~~
	~~ergative form, then there is only ever modal floating phonation before it in both cases e.g.~~


	~~màao /mɜʱː/ - betel nut, absolutive~~

	~~pmaagin /pmaːgiɴ/ - betel nut, ergative~~


	~~myimàao /mʲimɜʱː/ - my betel nut, absolutive~~


	~~Otherwise,~~
	~~if a word begins with a sonorant, then it always has floating phonation that is the same as that on the first vowel e.g.~~


	~~'máláeyáae /ˤmaˤlɛˤjɛːˤ/ - manners, absolutive~~

	~~maleyooetun /malejɘːtuɴ/ - manners, ergative~~


	~~'myéymáláeyáae /ˤmʲeiˤmaˤlɛˤjɛːˤ/ - my manners, absolutive~~

	~~ ~~

	~~======Stem starts with /s/======~~

	~~If the absolutive~~
	~~stem begins with /s/, it can never have tense floating phonation~~
	~~e.g.~~

	~~sásaechin /saˤsɛciɴ/ - stab wound, absolutive~~

	~~myisásaechin /mʲisaˤsaɛciɴ/ - my stab wound, absolutive~~

	~~ ~~

	~~In the case~~
	~~of absolutive nouns with breathy voice on the first vowel, if, in the ergative~~
	~~form, the initial /s/ becomes voiced /z/, then the word has breathy floating phonation e.g.~~


	~~`sàomùe /ʱsɜʱmɨʱ/ - (major) wife, absolutive~~

	~~zamibyin /zamibʲiɴ/ - (major) wife, ergative~~

	~~`myùesàomùe /ʱmʲɨʱsɜʱmɨʱ/ - my (major) wife, absolutive (not *myisàomùe)~~


	~~But if, in~~
	~~the ergative form, the first vowel acquires modal voice but the initial~~
	~~consonant stays as voiceless /s/, then in both the absolutive form and the ergative, there is floating modal phonation e.g.~~


	~~sàopyùe /sɜʱpʲɨʱ/ - speech (as in words, not a formal speech), absolutive~~

	~~sabyishin /sabʲiçiɴ/ - speech (as in words, not a formal speech), ergative~~

	~~myisàopyùe /mʲisɜʱpʲɨʱ/ - my speech (as in words, not a formal speech), absolutive~~

	~~ ~~

	~~======Other stems======~~

	~~If the~~
	~~absolutive stem begins with another obstruent (oral stop, affricate or~~
	~~fricative) followed by a vowel with tense voice, and that obstruent stays voiceless even when followed by a modally~~
	~~voiced vowel (in the ergative form), then the absolutive form has tense floating phonation e.g.~~


	~~'táen /tɛɴˤ/ - weather, absolutive~~

	~~toenchin /tɘɴciɴ/ - weather, ergative~~

	~~'myéytáen /ˤmʲeiˤtɛɴˤ/ - my weather, absolutive~~


	~~But if the obstruent becomes voiced, then there is only ever floating modal phonation e.g.~~


	~~támá /taˤmaˤ/ - victim of a scam / swindle, absolutive~~

	~~damaesin /damaɛsiɴ/ - victim of a scam / swindle, ergative~~

	~~myitámá /mʲitaˤmaˤ/ - my victim of a scam / swindle, absolutive~~

	~~ ~~

	And vice versa, if the absolutive form of a noun begins with a voicless obstruent followed by a breathy voiced vowel, and that vowel becomes voiced in the ergative form, then the absolutive form has floating breathy phonation e.g.


	~~`pùelùe /ʱpɨʱlɨʱ/ - bridge, absolutive~~

	~~bilidlin /bilidɮiɴ/ - bridge, ergative~~

	~~`myùepùelùe /ʱmʲɨʱpɨʱlɨʱ/ - my bridge, absolutive~~


	~~`pàoy /ʱpɜiʱ/- baby, absolutive~~

	~~baybyin /baibʲiɴ/ - baby, ergative~~

	~~`myùepàoy /ʱmʲɨʱpɜiʱ/ - my baby, absolutive~~

	~~ ~~

	~~And if the~~
	~~obstruent stays voiceless in the ergative form, then there is only ever floating modal phonation e.g.~~


	~~pàoy /pɜiʱ/ - page, absolutive~~

	~~paydlin /paidɮiɴ/ - page, ergative~~

	~~myipàoy /mʲipɜiʱ/ - my page, absolutive~~

	~~ ~~
