<p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font: 18px Helvetica">my dissertation looks at wordhood (or rather, the problems with it) cross-linguistically, and the facts you report are among the kind of phenomena that I was looking for in grammars. My sample contains
60 unrelated languages, but I do not recall a single grammar discussing such an issue at any length. So, I would venture to say that they are not commonly reported, although I should also highlight that theoretical approaches to prosodic wordhood will cite
sporadic examples of this kind. (The dissertation should be done later this fall. I would be happy to send out the final version).</p>

<p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font: 18px Helvetica">More generally, to the extent that the situation you describe falls within the domain of syllabification, that is a phenomenon that gets surprisingly little attention as an indicator of wordhood, both
in grammars and in theoretical works.</p>

<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>Best regards,</div>
