Otherwise, there is a strong tendency, perhaps exceptionless in verb morphology, to reanalyze fusional morphology found in only one of the input languages as agglutinative. (In the . For an account of the forms in (non‑mixed) Aleut, including the reconstructed historical basis of the irregularities, see Bergsland (1997: 67–69). Inflectional morphology and language contact case of the small amount of fusion found in Aleut-origin possessive suffixes on nouns, this may reflect the fact that Russian simply has no equivalent, rather than having an equivalent that is agglutinative).
Form-meaning units or combinations of form-meaning units, d. Syntactic relations, that is, the order of meaningful elements, e. Any combination of (a) through (d).

New stem alternations can be borrowed from the donor language, although in the examples considered here these always involve category pairs (in fact, singular/plural in English and German) where stem alternation is already a possibility in the recipient language.
