The nonsyncopating patterns are illustrated in (351). Stem-Initial Syncope
applies only to superheavy stems, so -PvCvC- is too short to syncopate. The
other types, -PvCCvC- and superheavy -PvCCvCCvC-, have an initial closed
syllable that precludes syncope. In all these verbs, the perfectives have a
composite melody, while the short imperfectives and the LoImpfP have
a strict melody. The perfectives and the inflectable Shlmpf convert
/-PvC.../ into -vPPvC... by Stem-Initial V-Insertion followed by Cr
Gemination.
