PerfP stem (perhaps derived from
stem that has stem-wide
we observe a surface «u α» or «i α» vocalic sequence in the Shlmpf, but the
PerfP relocates the relevant high V (or a mid-height version thereof) into the
second syllable of the stem. In (314.e), we have a stem-shape /-uCvC-/; the
vocalism of 'go far' is unique to this stem, while the initial α/ο alternation
exemplified by 'run' is common. The
vocalic sequence «α 3».
The remaining sets in (314) involve V-final stems. In (314.f) we have a set
of augmented V-final verbs with Augment -t-, which shortens a stem-final full
V in the Shlmpf (and PerfP). I return to these augment verbs below. (314.f)
also includes the irregular verb 'die' (§7.3.2), which has some affinities to this
augment class.
The morphophonology of non-augment V-final stems (314.g-j) requires
extended commentary. The final V appears as α in the PerfP. The stem-final V
disappears word-finally in the Shlmpf (see Stem-Final i/A-Deletion (29),
§3.1.2.4), but an underlying stem-final V can be posited based on phonological
behavior (including accentuation). In most cases the stem-final V in the
Shlmpf is an underspecified high V, symbol III. This is the case in the light
V-final verbs of shape 1-vCCv-l, /-vCi>, /-vCCu-/, and /-uCu-/, which have a
low V in the first syllable of the Shlmpf but end in hi (314.g-i). This is
