/r/-deletion in complex words derived with a consonantal suffix
quickinfo
The subject of this topic is /r/-deletion in (monosyllabic) derived words which contain a consonantal suffix. The pattern appears to show great resemblance to that found for /r/-deletion in (monosyllabic) simplex words. As to /r/-deletion the simplex word hert heart and the derived word heart /jɛr+t/ (he) hears show identical behaviour.

Consonantal suffixes in Frisian consist of one or two consonants. This is not without consequences for the realization of stem-final /r/ in case the suffixes consist of or begin with a coronal consonant, as the overview in (1) makes clear.

Non-coronal suffixes show a different pattern, as exemplified in (2):

| Examples of complex words derived with a non-coronal suffix from an /r/-final stem | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| a. | -k | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| - weak verbs of the second conjugational class: | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| luork(je) | [lworkjə] | peep, spy | (alongside | loer(e) | [luərə] | leer at | ) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| tjirg(je) | [tjɪrɣjə] | ~ | tjir(je) | [tjɪrjə] | rant (and rave), storm, rage | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
With respect to /r/-deletion, then, complex words derived with a coronal consonantal suffix behave just like simplex words ending in the sequence /r/ + coronal consonant; this holds for both native words and more recent loanwords. The morphological make-up of these words does not seem to make any difference. The word-final sequence /r/ + coronal consonant appears to meet with a severe ban on its occurrence.
