Q

Which of the following VTA endings + action signs indicates a sound change? (There’s only one.)

  1. aw + i
  2. ‘w + i
  3. zh + i
  4. m + i
  5. n + i
  6. ’ + i
A

2: ‘w + i = ‘o, and “o” (short vowel) ending drops if alone

Ex: mazinibii’w (draw h/) becomes gimazinibii’ (you draw me) in Akeyaa and mazinibii’oyan (when you draw me) in Bkeyaa.

Is there a sound change for the following VTA endings?

No, neither, only ‘w takes a sound change when “i” is added (giin on niin).

So biizh becomes gibiizh (“i” drops) and waabam becomes giwaabam (“i” drops) in this form.
