Morphology of the gerund in Degema and its reconstruction in proto-Edoid

The gerund in Degema (Delta Edoid) is derived by affixing a discontinuous morpheme to the verb stem. Verb stems ending in a vowel take a shorter form of this morpheme while stems ending in a consonant (even if such a consonant is derived from an underlying close vowel by glide formation) have the lo...
