Dear All,<br>
<br>
Thank you for all the contribution. <br>
It seems that some zero roots are synchronically zero but not diachronically zero.<br>
Another example would be u-?go? in Yagaria. In present tense, there is a vowel assimilation between the ?go? and the 1sg/du/pl or 3sg marking.<br>
<br>
?<br>
