In (6a) the presence of the jer in the stem enforcesthe phonetic realisation of the jer in the prefix; the former jer is properlygoverned itself and cannot serve as a potential governor to the latter.The examples in (6b) illustrate prefixed forms in which neither the prefixnuclear position nor the stem one is phonetically realised. Additionally,as has been mentioned earlier, the initial clusters in (6b) are neverseparated by an alternating vowel in DI. Note that in this group the DIforms are produced by affixation -i/ywaæ. The first idea which springs tomind, i.e. to represent the clusters in (6b) as branching onsets, must berejected as in the Strict CV model there are no branching constituents.Another possibility is to represent the clusters as IG relations. Note thatthe conditions for such relations to hold are fulfilled. This solution isplausible as the nuclear position separating such clusters is lexically empty,i.e. it is not an alternating jer. Moreover, we can now explain theabsence of the prefixal vowel. The nuclear position occurring in the domainof IG is governed by the fact that it is locked between two consonantsholding a governing relation, which enables the first audible stemvowel to properly govern the prefixal one. To sum up the discussion sofar, we have seen that the clusters which are never broken up by thealternating vowel (6b) are represented as the IG relations (7b). On theother hand, the forms in (6a) are resolved by means of Proper Government(7a). The existence of both mechanisms in the language is responsiblefor the inconsistent behaviour of prefixes in the class of DI.(7)a. PG b.
