The results showed that (a) the glottal stop consonant [?], voiced palatal or semivowel consonant [y] and bilabial semivowel consonant [w] were identified in the polymorphemic words with vowel endings of bound morphemes [-an] and (b) in the polymorphemic words with vowel endings of bound morphemes [-an] have phoneme-loss of the glottal stop consonant [?], voiced palatal or semivowel consonant [y] and bilabial semivowel consonant [w] in comparison its derivative sounds of the words with any free morphemes and bound morphemes [-an]]]>
