Primary analysis:
1. The C-A consonant matrix M-RH-M-T
M-RHB-NN-
M-RHB-N-
Might well correspond to the Slavic M-RSH-V-Y'
M-RKN-T
M-RZN-T
M-MBR-N
2. The pre-final C-A A-NN-I' and A-N-I' and O-N-I' have their correspondences in Slavic and Italian:
Ukrainian:
sav-ANN-I
Zibr-ANN-I
Bor-ON-I
Kor-ON-I
Kor-ONN-I
Dol-ON-I
Italian: poltr-O-N-E
Lim-ON-I
Cov-ON-I
Ner-ON-I
Pall-ON-I
Col- ONN-E
Russian: zyel-ON-y'y'
Razhdy-ONN-y'y'
Abar-ONN-y'y'
Saly-ON-y'y'
Polish: ziel'-ON-y
Cherv-ON-y
Marz-ON-y
Strzez'-ON-y
3. The C-A consonant matrix inserting vowels has some specific regularity:
4. a/ leveled equalized position:
a"-a"-a"
a-a-a
b/ mixed, leveled and strong position:
a-a-i
c/ mixed, strong/reduced+leveled accentuated position:
e-a-i
d/ mixed, strong/reduced +wa regressive assimilation depending on N position+ final contracted accentuated position:
e-o-i
5. the corresponding Slavic matrix fitting vowels have the following correspondences:
6. a/ framing position: Y-a-Y
b/ leveled +final accentuated position a-a-i
c/ strong, accentuated+wo+unstressed final position
E'-U-Y
d/ leveled+wa+stressed final position:
a-O-Y'
7. the O-N-I group has its correspondences in a number of Ukrainian words:
bo'roni vs boro'ny
do'loni vs doly'ny with the same wa regressive assimilation before "N"
8. the ONI/ONE group is also traced in Italian: neroni, limoni, covoni, poltrone
9. the interlingual correspondence matrix pattern can be represented as it follows:
MA'RHA'MA'T
ARHAM/NN//A/E/I/
ERHB/O/N/I
MYRSHAVY'Y
MARSHOVY'Y
MARNOVY'Y
MERKNUTY
RZNUTY
10. The C-A BON- = Ukr. NOV
zoNN
zhoNN
roNN
with other variations: Ukr. Bezdonny'y' DONN
Rus. Konny'y' KONN
Ukr./Rus. Sonny'y' SONN
CONCLUSIONS:
1. THE LEVELLED POSITION OF THE C-A VOWELS A'-A'-A'/A-A-A UNDERGOES CHANGES
a/ under the stress a-a-e'/e-a-i'
b/ the leveled a in the initial position changes into e, either as a rudiment of a" or as a reduced a
a-a-e'
c/ the final stressed unclosed a/a" becomes i: e-a-I"/e-o-I"
d/ the middle leveled a becomes o (wa) under the influence of the next N: O
2. Slavic correspondences:
a/ preserved leveled a under the stress: Y-A"-Y
b/ preserved initial leveled a in the unstressed position A-o-Y"
c/ strong position of the initial a under the stress: e"-u-y
d/ stressed analogical to the initial o: ONI elements: o-o"-N-I/o-o-N
e/ stressed/ustressed ANNI elements
- Analogical with the initial unstressed a: a^-a"NNI
- Non-stressed group preceeded by a palatalized initial consonant I':
- I"-ANNI
3. Always stressed analogical Italian O"NE/O"NI groups: o-O"NE/o-O"NI/e-O"NI/i-O"NI
4. The 3-syllable C-A please' are:
a/ closed by a dental "T" with the 2 nd syllable beginning with a consonant combination "RH" which corresponds to Ukr. "RSH"
b/ opened by the stressed final "I", the 2 nd syllable beginning with a 3 element consonant combination "RHB/HRB", the word finalizing in aNNI/aNI/oNI;
c/ the other variations would lead us to the conclusion:
1/ the vowels can be
-enframing e-a"-e/e-o"-e
- the second one stressed: e-e"-o/e-u"o
- the second and the 3 rd are the same, one- stressed, another unstressed/both stressed:
e-o"-o/e"a-a
- With ANO group: e-a"-o
5. 3 different vowels in the pattern: e-o-I"/e-o"-a/e-u"-io/e-o-I"a/a-o"-i
- The ANO/O"NE/O"NI groups are always traced with the 1 st syllable stressed
- -the ODI"/OLO/O"RA are traced after ZZ/ST, sometimes depending on the grammatical government of the word as much as on the phonological one
- -the U"ZZO/U"CCIO are traced after RL/ZZ requiring ?O/U
- -interesting for the contrastive analyses Italian consonant groups are:
RK/RL/ST/TR/ZZ requesting
- RK/RC a/e
- RC-u
- RL- e before TT/u before ZZ
- ST o before L
- TR- before palatalized GG+io/I before C
- ZZ- a before another a syllable (A-LA).
- Thus, generally,:
RK/RC requires a/e/u
RL- e/u before doubles
ST- o before L
TR- a/i
ZZ- a before another leveled a.
