In some dialects, the -PvCCvCCvC- type can have rather than
vocalism in the short and long imperfective systems. So corresponding to
PerfP -affarsaessaen- '(hide) be coarse' we get Imprt faersaessaen (T-ka) or
farsassan (A-grm, R), and LoImpfP -t-afaersaessan- (T-ka) or -t-ifarsassin-
(A-grm, R).
The types in the three columns of (349) suffice to characterize the fuller
set of heavy short-V verbs, whose morphophonological behavior points to the
following subgroups. First, there is middleweight -CvCvC- It begins with an
open short-V syllable but does not undergo Stem-Initial Syncope because the
stem is not superheavy. Second, there is the set of superheavy stems beginning
in a short open syllable: -CvCvCCvC-, -CvCvCCv(C)CvC-. These types do
undergo Stem-Initial Syncope after Stem-Initial V-Insertion has applied
(perfectives, inflectable Shlmpf). Third, there are the stems, whether
middleweight or superheavy, beginning in a closed syllable: - CvCCvC-,
-CvCCvCCvC-, and in theory #-CvCCvCCvCCvC- (though I cannot cite a
verb of this latter shape). Of course these stems do not syncopate for syllabic
reasons, but they do undergo C,-Gemination after Stem-Initial V-insertion
(§3.4.8.1).
The syncopating superheavy types are illustrated in (350). Note that the
PerfP has a surface stem-wide melody, though one can make a fairly good
case for deriving this from underlying by Stem-Initial V-Insertion,
Stem-Initial Syncope, and Leftward L-Spreading (§3.2.7). The inflectable
Shlmpf also undergoes Stem-Initial V-Insertion and Stem-Initial Syncope. The
short imperfectives and the LoImpfP have a stem-wide melody.
