Do any of you funknetters know of a case of a root or stem which
consists of a process morpheme? Zero stems have occasionally been
posited (and I'd be interested in any good examples of those you
have), but I don't know of any stems consisting of say a tone pattern
or (more likely) tone shift, an umlaut or ablaut, a reduplication,
palatalization, etc. It seems like they should be a predicted kind of
limiting case, though there are good reasons for them to be pretty
rare. Any examples?
