Guarani notes
- There is phonologically predictable nasal assimilation of some of the prefixes: whenever prenasalized (orthographic) [nd] and [j] appear as part of a prefix, they are realized as (orthographic) [n] and [ñ] if the stem contains a nasal segment.
- Verbs like 'forget' and 'be high' are stative, or have affected subjects. Their subject inflection matches that of possessed nouns, as well as the corresponding object of a transitive with 3rd person subject, except for the 3rd person.
