Inflection

Inflection pattern:

Stem type: ə-stem
Inflection sandhi: Default/none, p-declined
Sources: [SK71], [JP67]

Notes on inflection:

The stem is presumably not used with un-possessed endings. Thus, we do not give a full inflection paradigm here. However, the final /ə/ alternates with [a] as usual, when followed by a vowel-initial ending, i.e. missaa.
