However, within the play's logic, he must be made flesh (abject); his body must metathesize and permeate history; he must live but also die for Napoleon to triumph.
Third, the relative rankings involving UNIFORMITY and MAX-C, the constraint that militates against the deletion of a consonant, correctly predict when one of two adjacent consonants delete and when two consonants metathesize. Fourth, the proposed analysis of Zoque supports treating the constraint NOCODA, which ensures that the optimal syllable is open, as an example of the "emergence of the unmarked" (McCarthy and Prince 1994).
In general, if Proto-Kurux-Malto (PKxMt) has a pattern [C.sub.1][V.sub.1][C.sub.2][V.sub.2][C.sub.3][V.sub.3], Kurux will have [C.sub.1][V.sub.1][C.sub.2.sup.V1][C.sub.3] where the second vowel echoes the first and Malto will have [C.sub.1][V.sub.1][C.sub.2][C.sub.3][V.sub.3] where [C.sub.2][C.sub.3] may metathesize to [C.sub.3][C.sub.2].
