Metathesis

Metathesis in CollSgE seems to be highly specific, being limited to the cluster sp, which is realized as [ps]. Exactly why the sp cluster should be prone to metathesis remains unclear.

 

Other clusters such as st or sk do not seem to undergo metathesis (examples below); instead, they undergo the process of consonant deletion mentioned earlier.
