(28) there are two types of vowel-initial suffixes there are two types of vowel-initial suffixes
a. suffixes whose vowel does not alternate with zero ( suffixes with stable Vs)
b. suffixes whose vowel does alternate with zero
c. like everywhere else in Slavic languages, the contrast between alternating and stable vowels is a lexical property of each morpheme and therefore needs to be recorded in the lexicon.
d. the regular contrast (lexically associated vs. unassociated pieces of melody) is not available in the Government-based analysis.
Association under lexical control lexical
specification of pieces of melody
The examples given in (8) reveal underlying
melodic items which surface only in plural and
which are not predictable gt These items are
present in the lexicon and they belong to the
root but for some reason are absent in the
singular.

Schwa in Kabyle The occurrence of schwa is predictable in Kabyle. As described by Chaker (1983), schwa occurs in the following environments between two consonants in a word-final consonant C__C e.g. /izêm/ between C1 and C2 of a C1C2C3V cluster C1__C2C3V e.g. /idêflan/ between a consonant and geminate C__C e.g. /aDêbbuz/ ? êCV is forbidden in Kabyle Berber.
