===Catalan=== In some [[Catalan language|Catalan]] dialects, word-final {{IPA|/r/}} is lost in coda position not only in suffixes of nouns and adjectives denoting the masculine singular and plural (written as ''-r'', ''-rs''; as well as in words like ''llavors'' {{IPA|[ʎəˈβɔs]}} "then; so"), but also in the "-''ar'', -''er'' and -''ir''" suffixes of infinitives: ''forner'' {{IPA|[furˈne]}} "(male) baker", ''forners'' {{IPA|[furˈnes]}}, ''fer'' {{IPA|[ˈfe]}} "to do", ''lluir'' {{IPA|[ʎuˈi]}} "to shine, to look good". However, rhotics are "recovered" when followed by the feminine suffix ''-a'' {{IPA|[ə]}}, and when infinitives have single or multiple [[Clitic|enclitic]] pronouns (notice the two rhotics are neutralized in the coda, with a [[flap consonant|flap]] {{IPA|[ɾ]}} occurring between vowels, and a [[trill consonant|trill]] {{IPA|[r]}} elsewhere); e.g. ''fornera'' {{IPA|[furˈneɾə]}} "(female) baker", ''fer-lo'' {{IPA|[ˈferɫu]}} "to do it (masc.)", ''fer-ho'' {{IPA|[ˈfeɾu]}} "to do it/that/so", ''lluir-se'' {{IPA|[ʎuˈir.sə]}} "to excel, to show off".
