Different behaviours in line-final words...?

[MarcoP]

The strange bit is that this behaviour is also observed if 'chd' is somewhere in the middle of the word and not at the end. That is, if I saw that correctly.

Hi Rene,
the numbers I computed are for all occurrences of chd (anywhere in a word). Also in A, it typically occurs as -chdy: this is the case for 7 of the 14 end-of-line occurrences. The other 7 cases are:
chd
kchdal
ytchdam
qotchd
ykchdg
tolchd
opchdard

Since the numbers are so small, I find it difficult to evaluate more specific patters. In my opinion, even if the position of chd is not strictly word-final, it could still be some kind of 'contraction' as suggested by Nick.
