These appear with the inessive and adessive V2:a V2:e V2:i V2:o V2:u V2:y V2:ä V2:ö

no change The example here is for something that should not be done We have two infinite sets, Livvi Karelian and incoming loanwords. The original idea was to make a rule changing all instances of adjacent double aa to ua. For this reason a special trigger was to be inserted into the lexc stem of a word to prevent such a rule from occurring. Since the infinite Livvi Karelian set is more predictable and perhaps smaller than the incoming loanword set, it is better to literally spell out adjacent vowels that are constant. 2019-09-02 JMR %^NONE:0 This will break vowel change, e.g. sa%^NONEamelaine
