| Citazioni | Since the distribution of the three alternants is regulated according to a linguistically recognizable characteristic of the accompanying forms, we say that the alternation is 'regular'. Finally, since the deciding characteristic of the accompanying forms is phonemic (namely, the identity of the last phoneme), we say that the alternation is 'automatic'. |
