An important process often occurring in inflectional forms is historical palatalization: *lj → j, *rj → h. When the the change *lj → j produces a consonant combination that is allowed as an onset cluster, a resyllabification takes place, which is sometimes important for stress position. Thus, a form like rarkenjur 'brothers' is syllabified rar.ke.njur and therefore has the stress on its first syllable, despite being historically *rar.ken.ljur.
