Subject: exceptions prove a rule, pausal forms

as indicated, working on fullblown study of pausal phonology, using a
variety of diagnostics. working through the use of ki (the key to
pausal phonology---get it?).
here's a *partial* list of exceptions, where pause fails where
completely expected.
this is not the kind of thing they'd make up; presumably there's some
linguistic /prosodic reality involved. this stuff fascinates me. makes
me wonder how you could transmit such knowledge.
