...Vadim, thank you for putting forward this version of the argument that apocopation is a phonological issue, since Rolf has tried to argue that this is a phonological issue but has never I think given any details of how the phonological changes might work.
But this does not explain apocopation
Apocopation is, in my opinion, a purely phonetic issue. When the accent
shifts onto the first syllable, the unaccented final vowel is lost.
