any issue for the analysis. The dissimilation is between two adjacent root-nodes in the assimilation. In our model, it means it can be targeted by a markedness constraint that refers to the precedence relation. As in the case for Basque, I postulate a generic markedness constraint that targets the banned sequence of adjacent root nodes. Also notice that the previous analysis is unaffected by the introduction of this constraint because it can only be violated for /sn/ sequences, and in the examples above that was never the case. Derived sibilants do not undergo, but trigger harmony. Let us consider the two cases separately. Recall that in Chumash, harmony is from right-to-left. In the tableau below, the [+anterior] sibilant would normally induce regressive assimilation of all preceding sibilants.
