Vowel systems rottEN

The rottEN set has two types of reflex in the Suriname creoles. One set has the reflex /-i(n)/. This is shared by other creoles in the Atlantic area like Krio, which is fairly similar to the Suriname creoles in various respects.

The other involves a repetition of the main vowel of the preceding syllable.

The two above reflexes also occur with -ing items.
