If there is more than one affix, each is affected by the preceding one as 
if this were the Root (both as to consonants and vowels). 
Ex. 1: 4 tut-ma-ghan ’ ; 4 tut-al-ghan\ (without the affix ma or al inter¬ 
posed, the last affix would take the form tut-kan ). So yort-dng with 
the affix lar interposed becomes ydrt-l&r-ing , not -ong. 
2. 4 bil-mang ’ ( 4 bil-ma-ng ’) ; 4 Jcel-tur-up ’ ( 4 Jcel-tu/r-p ’) (Cf. bit¬ 
ing, Jcel-if)). Often the first affix has itself been affected by the Root. 
Ex.: 4 bil-in-ip\ 4 tut-ush-upd
