However, phonemically they can be distinct, so that /ai a.i/ might be realised as [aĭ̝ aˑiˑ] or similar. So /ɹiakt/ is [ɻʷɪˈjækt̚ˀ] with a drop in sonority between /i/ and /a/ marking a syllable boundary...

Is it plural, at least morphologically ( -(o)s )? Yes, there is a plural morpheme in there. is the noun a feminine? Not in this form, no. and if so, is the last syllable from -ōnēs? [cross] eperèitegaretos Standard [ɵpɵˌɾei̯tɵˌɡoɾɵˈtuː] Southern [ipiˌɾet͡ɕoˈɾitu] Eastern [epeˌɾei̯teˌjoɾeˈtuː]
