Allomorph -mi correlates in a similar fashion with 502E and 502K; 

 -mi, correlates with 502D; -diriii with 502C; and -wi with 502G and 

 502H: 



Examples showing a correlation of benefactive suffixes with 502F, 

 5021, 502J, 502L, 502M, and 502N are lacking in the data. Posi- 

 tionally, the benefactive suffix occurs between suffixes of Century 

 Class 400 and Century Class 500. In forms containing a suflSx of 

 Century Class 400 the stem is thus discontinuous: 



sdukaicita-ni (141B + TA + verb core + 401E + benefactive suflBx, -ni) 

 / am hitting hivi for you 



STEM VAEIANTS 



Stem variants result primarily from changes in the thematic adjunct 

 and from changes in the final syllable of the verb stem, although 

 other syllables may occasionally be involved as well. Certain of these 

 changes are irregular and must be indicated in a listing of stems. 

 Others, however, may be predicted on the basis of previously described 

 processes which show a certain degree of regularity. The latter result 

 from specific morphophonemic processes, from the expansion of transi- 

 tive verb thematic adjuncts and the change in the thematic adjunct of 

 intransitive verbs of classes 9-11 and 9-12, ("Stem Formation"), and 

 from the suffixation of aflBx 401E or 502L ("Inflectional Affixes"). 



Vowel reduction normally results in the fusing of the thematic 

 adjunct with a preceding vowel. Stem variants wiU then show either 

 a shift in, or a loss of, the initial (thematic adjunct) vowel, depending 

 on how the prefix-stem cut is made: 



g-aku (g- + -^ku) he bit him 



s-aku or sa-ku (sa- + -kkv) I bit you 

 s-eku or se-ku (si- + -aku) I bit him 



The morphophonemic reduction of vowel plus semivowel sequences 

 results in similar stem changes: 



g-iiwi-tEyA (g- + -uwi-tEyA) he worshiped 



si-wi-tEyA (si- + -uwt-tEyA) / worshiped 



g-uisikuyA (g- + -uwisikuyA) he scolded him 



si-wfsikuyA (si- + -uwIsikuyA) / scolded him
