656 LIST OF STEMS 
-wi- sound (-'t- instr.; apparently not 
with -‘taw-); make a decision (com- 
bined with ki‘ci-); terminal i of 
pami- preceding -wi- is eliminated; 
otherwise -iwi- makes -owé-; see 
page 616; it should be noted that 
with the postverbal extensions -t- 
-t- -n- it makes -towd- -‘towad- 
-nowii- respectively, suggesting that 
-t- -'t- -n- stand for -ti- -'‘ti- -ni- 
respectively. 60.37, 64.25, 200.39 
(twice), 200.41, 296.15, 306.29, 
310.24, 328.5, 328.12, 386.4, 386.6, 
556.42, 566.5, 578.29, 578.31, 588.10.

the rule given above needs slight 
modification.
