Shlmpf). Others of this type are (PerfP) -aeddobae-t 'be able', -aeddomae-t
'plant (crop)' (from Songhay), -aekkolae-t 'tug', -aemmolas-t 'have some white
on the head' (PerfP also attested once as molae-t), -aessohas-t 'be firm' and
-aessohae-t 'be healthy' (from Arabic), -aessomae-t 'put head on cushion', , and
-aettolae-t 'put on top of. For -aeddobae-t 'be able', T-ka has Shlmpf -addubs-t
varying with -adabae-t, while the other dialects have -adabae-t or -udabae-t.
The LoImpfP is -t-ldubu-t (except A-grm -t-adaba-t).
In (407.b), 'drag' is the only verb recorded that has the same vocalism as
the common 'be plump' subtype but fails to undergo Q-Gemination. The C,
for 'drag' is h, which is often resistant to gemination. For R, I did record PerfP
-aehhobae-t with CrGemination.
The unusual VblN type ae-CaCu in (407) is quite characteristic of
augmented -CUCD- verbs (another example is ae-kalu 'tugging'). To derive
-CaCu from lexical /-CuCu-/, we can allow u-Spreading to apply (producing
/-CuCu-/), then have a L melodic segment apply to the first syllable. (See also
ae-kawi 'roasting' just below.)
For the R speaker, I recorded optional shortening of the medial V in long
imperfectives, as in LoImpfP t-isaxu-t (for t-lsuxu-t) 'be healthy', cf. PerfP
-aessoxae-t. Normally, Medial V-Shortening applies only before a CC cluster.
There are three verbs of -CuCu- shape with medial lexical i (hence
perfective e) or a. These are given in (408).
