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

aw + i
‘w + i
zh + i
m + i
n + i
’ + i

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.
