Editing Ingrian language (section)

==Morphophonology==
The Ingrian language has several [[Morphophonology|morphophonological processes]].

[[Vowel harmony]] is the process that the [[affix]]es attached to a lemma may change depending on the stressed vowel of the word. This means that if the word is stressed on a [[back vowel]], the affix would contain a back vowel as well, while if the word's stress lies on a [[front vowel]], the affix would naturally contain a front vowel. Thus, if the stress of a word lies on an "a", "o" or "u", the possible affix vowels would be "a", "o" or "u", while if the stress of a word lies on an "ä", "ö" or "y", the possible affix vowels to this word would then be "ä", "ö" or "y":
: '''nappi''' (button, ''nominativa''); '''nappi''a''''' (button, ''partitiva'')
: '''näppi''' (pinch, ''nominativa''); '''näppi''ä''''' (pinch, ''partitiva'')
The vowels "e" and "i" are neutral, that is to say that they can be used together with both types of vowels.
