hypothetical forms in (33).<br />

‘prender:Appl-Appl-Pot’<br />

Again, logically possible forms with applicative stems adding unproductive<br />

applicative suffixes in position S3 are unattested in the corpus. An opaque exponent <strong>of</strong><br />

the applicative will only be disambiguated with the most productive and transparent<br />

applicative marker in the language.<br />

The stratal analysis proposed above can be extended to those patterns <strong>of</strong> ME that<br />

are not prosodically conditioned. Consider first the derivation <strong>of</strong> a root and an applicative<br />

exponent at the Stem level in Tableau (34). The root in question has a selectional<br />

restriction that enforces that the applicative exponent in this case is stem allomorphy (cf.<br />

Chapter 3, §3.3.2). The ranking <strong>of</strong> PARSE-! and MAX is irrelevant in this case, and<br />

REALIZE-MORPH determines that the output candidate is suwé (34b), the applicative stem.<br />
