That sounds a bit odd. If I am not mistaking the /i/ in /-illa/ is a
short /i/, thus in PBR the boths sufixes, /-illa/ and /-ella/ should
have colapsed in one suffix, namely /*-ella/.
That is why I wonder since from this only sufix one cannot have two
reflexes . My mistake here could be that the /i/ in /-illa/ is a long
/i/, but I don't see anywhere the longness marker for this /i/.
