<div dir="auto"><div dir="ltr">Dear all,<div><br></div><div>I'm aware of the asymmetry between the preposed and postposed morphemes in terms of their integration into the prosodic constituent with the stem (Himmelman 2014; Asao 2015), but is anyone aware of the difference in the level of integration between the vowel-initial vs consonant-initial postposed morphemes (suffixes or enclitics)? </div><div><br></div><div>I have been observing that this might be the case in a couple of languages, including Teotitlán Zapotec and Alcozauca Mixtec. For instance in Teotitlán Zapotec, vowel-initial enclitics are clearly within the domain of syllabification, while consonant-initial enclitics are not. In Alcozauca Mixtec, it might be the case that vowel-initial enclitics are incorporated into the prosodic word, while consonant-initial enclitics are not. Is this something commonly reported in the literature?</div><div><br></div><div>I would appreciate any insights.</div><div><br></div><div>Best regards,</div><div>Hiroto</div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:rgb(0,112,192)">Asao,
