It also isn't that strange for a language to have an affix that can't <br>
attach to words with certain phonological shapes, even if the resulting <br>
word wouldn't violate any phonological rules. For instance, the English <br>
deadjectival verbalizing suffix "-en" that we see in words such as <br>
"redden" and "darken" (it's generally used with color terms, but can <br>
occasionally occur with other adjectives) cannot be added to adjectives <br>
ending in a vowel or sonorant — which is why you don't hear *yellowen or <br>
*greenen. </blockquote></div></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">You do if you're willing to embiggen your vocabulary.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><span style="font-family:sans-serif">-- </span><br style="font-family:sans-serif"><span style="font-family:sans-serif">De'vID</span></div></div>
