"When the verb starts in a vowel, we don't add an extra vowel to the beginning of the stem:"


 * If the form ítie is authentic it actually shows that a sundóma prefix is is added to stems beginning in a vowel -- resulting in a long vowel, indistinguishable from stem vowel lengthening, only it is shortened again if followed by two consonants. Or to put it otherwise sundóma prefixation and stem vowel lengthening conspire to give the same result, so who can say which of them happens and which doesn't? Melroch (talk) 07:57, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
