1.
The first possible output violates ICC (place)
because [N]
and [p] have different place of articulation and no coda because the structure
of last syllable is CVC.
2.
The second possible output violates faith (place)
affix because there is a changing sound of affix from [N] to [m], no
coda because the structure of last syllable is CVC.
3.
The third possible output violates faith (place)
stem because there is a sound changing of stem from [p] to [b], faith (place)
affix because there is a sound changing of affix from [N] and [m], no
coda because the structure of last syllable is CVC.
4.
The fourth possible output violates faith (C)
stem because there is a consonant deletion of stem, onset because the second
syllable’s structure is only a vowel, no coda because the structure of last syllable
is CVC.
5.
The fifth possible output violates faith (C)
affix because there is a deletion of affix sound and no coda because the
structure of last syllable is CVC.
6.
The last possible output is considered as the
most possible output because it has the lowest range.
