Association under Control
Stable vs. alternating suffix-initial vowels
Association under lexical control lexical
specification of pieces of melody
The examples given in (8) reveal underlying
melodic items which surface only in plural and
which are not predictable gt These items are
present in the lexicon and they belong to the
root but for some reason are absent in the
singular.

The external plural agent A in Kabyle Berber
Government-based analysis of vowel-zero
alternations
When A is lexically present, it appears
in the pl. gt If lexically present, A is a
plural marker in external plurals. Hence it is
subject to an order to appear on the
surface, even if its appearance causes damage
elsewhere in the root.
(10) Templatic analysis a. Templates
Templates are a fixed sequence of CV positions
that serves is associated to some morpho-semantic
value. The melodic material of the lexical items
must comply with this skeleton when it
instantiates the morpho-semantic value at hand.

Conclusion
The association of A in external plural
(12)
gt if lexically present, A receives the order to
branch in the plural, and thus appears as such on
the surface.

• A branches, damage caused loss of I and
  degemination of C2 as a consequence of the vowel
  dropping.
• gt note the behaviour of -T, which eats up space
  but cannot appear on the surface (it is
  pronounced only in the feminine plural in -in,
  i.e. before a full vowel.
