The melody for the Prohib stem is the same characteristic long
imperfective melody used in the LoImpfP of the same stem-shape classs. The
remaining features (340.b-c) are the same as those used in the LoImpfN. The
unique ablaut formatives of the LoImpfP are not present in the Prohib.
The Prohib and LoImpfN stems are indistinguishable for verb types that
have characteristic melody (341.a). However, stems with or
characteristic melody distinguish the LoImpfN and Prohib by vocalism
(341. b-c).
