Two different contrastive hierarchies:<br />
a. [high] > [labial]<br />
b. [labial] > [high]<br />
[–high]<br />
[+high]<br />
[–labial]<br />
[+labial]<br />
/a/ [–labial] [+labial]<br />
[–high]<br />
[+high]<br />
/u/<br />
/i/<br />
/u/<br />
/a/<br />
/i/<br />
We might expect that the two vowel systems will pattern differently. For<br />
example, system (a) might show alternations or neutralization between /i/<br />
and /u/; in system (b) /i/ might be more closely related to /a/.<br />
