7.3 Verb classes and irregular verbs 373by the related noun derhan '(a) wish'.
After the usual stem-initial changes in the perfective and inflectable
Shlmpf, the perfective melody
(T-ka) -ahhussael-, consistent with the regular «Η Η L» surface melody found
in other perfectives with three syllables. In most dialects, we get -sehhussael-,
suggesting a variant tripartite
high V.
In the long imperfectives, the basic ablaut rules produce e.g. LoImpfP
/-t-ihussil-/, which actually surfaces as such in A-grm -t-lhussil-. In T-ka and
most other dialects, however, /-t-lhussil-/ must undergo u-Spreading to
/-t-ihussul-/ and then Medial V-Shortening due to the medial CC cluster to
/-t-ihassul-/ before surfacing as -t-lhassul-.
I now turn to middleweight verbs with no CC cluster, i.e. -CuCvC-.
Both full high V's are possible, hence -CuCvC- and -CiCvC- types. The latter
type has unstable vocalism as i alternates with a, so I begin with the more
straightforward -CuCvC- type. It is exemplified by the MAN stem paradigm of
'marry' in (375).
(375) -CuCvC- Stems'marry'
