- The is substituted analogically after the palatalized stem, it being one of the back vowels possible after palatalized consonant, cf. point 6 in the body of the text.
- The fronted variant of the ending -ˇ, viz. -ǐ is modeled after the unpalatalized stem, since a -ˇ would be impossible after a palatalized consonant or /j/. It is necessary to posit fronting before the passage of */a/ to */ˇ/ before */N/ in a closed syllable, because */jaNs/ passed to /j¸/, whereas */aNs/ passed to */uNs/ and eventually to /y/. Fronting seems to have taken place before the action of the law of open syllables, because we also find that */jai/> */jei/ and to /ji/. The treatment of */ai/ after */j/ is similar to the treatment of */ei/.
