t>0/_X$

n>r/_X$

C>+aspir/_X

nasal metathesis (CN>NC only if C is more sonorant or
N is word-final)

vowel metathesis (from next syl if possible, if not
from previous)

vowel insertion? (in case above leaves N outside
sonoricity)

-(a)nt takes surface form -ant in words in which
N-metathesis created bad C-cluster (if above rule
didn't occur)

thematic verbs turned athematic by N-m take athem
endings
