1. Mokilese Examine the distribution of the voiced and voiceless vowel pairs:11.)i and (u,
[Oar)) fduptikdal fPtikol (kisa] [supwo)
'full of leaves' 'bought' 'basket' 'we two' 'firewood' to move'
['Auk] (kaskas) (pokil [Pill tapidl Dud;ilk)
'flesh' 'to throw' 'to strike somethin 'water' 'outrigger support' 'to tackle'
list the environments (referring to specific sounds) in which each sound appears. Restate these environments in terms of phonological categories (natural classes). b. For each pair, identify the underlying sound. Explain your choice. c. In plain English, propose a rule that converts the underlying sound into its surf form (phonetic realization). d. The vowel /e/ does not appear in the data above. Do you think /e/ appears as voiceless vowel in Mokilese? Why or why not?
2, Tibetan Tibetan numbers between 11 and 19 are formed by placing the appropriat the number 10, and multiples of 10 are formed by placing the appropriate
before the number 10.

(Note two common deviations from ll'A notation: DI for (d3] and VI for If 1.) a. Give the underlying form for each number above, using the "+" symbol to mark morpheme boundaries. b. In plain English, describe the rule required to derive the correct surface forms givetl the underlying representations you have chosen. If you proposed a rule of epenthesis, explain why it is preferable to a rule of deletion. If you proposed a rule of deletion, explain why it is preferable to a rule of epenthesis.
