| the allemañisch alternation is conditioned by this rule:
| |
|
| |
| *diphthongs before /ʔ, s, ŋ/ OR before nasals
| |
| *monophthongs otherwise?
| |
| what do you think about the alternation rule?
| |
| actually i was thinking about making the alternants marginally phonemic (like before consonants that don't alternate)
| |
| like /l, x/
| |
| it originally came from the rule "diphthongs in closed syllables, monophthongs in open syllables" (plus diphthongization before /n, s/). operates after r, -nj > j and attendant vowel coloring.
