| Maniitsoq ungasippoq | Maniitsoq is far away | |
| miilitut ungasissigaaq | it is as distant as a mile | From {uŋasik}V + V{təgə}V + V{vuq} (old orthography: ungasigsigaoĸ). The example illustrates that the true /i/ in the base indeed can cause assibilation of a following /t/ to /s/ by the t-to-s rule. |
