Description
Form and usage:
This is a lexicalised variant of V{-ut(ə)}V, following vowel- and t-stems, according to Fortescue et al. (2010). However, nowadays it appears to be used productively as an alternative to V{-ut(ə)}V in combinations where phonotactics otherwise would have required a /j/ to be inserted, i.e. following [aa]. There may also be a relation to the nominalising affix V{ccutə}N in terms of usage. See the entry for V{-ut(ə)}V for more usage examples and a description of the (regular) right-sandhi of t(ə)-stems.
