For two-form suffixes, the difference of vowels in the two forms is that one vowel is a back vowel (it lacks the F property), and the other is a front vowel (it has the F property).

- | All vowels, except //i// and //í//, form back/front pairs, and those pairs in turn define the two different forms of two-form suffixes.

Three-form suffixes follow a similar pattern to two-form suffixes, but three-form suffixes are defined by a vowel triplet, instead of vowel pairs. The vowel triplet contains one back vowel and two front vowels. The two front vowels are distinguished by another quality: roundedness. That is, one of the front vowels is rounded, and the other front vowel is unrounded. | Three-form suffixes follow a similar pattern to two-form suffixes, but three-form suffixes are defined by a vowel triplet, instead of vowel pairs.

- | In modern lingustics, frontness harmony is regarded as the propagation of the F property from the stem to the suffix. If the F property is propagated, the suffix will have the F property, that is, the suffix will take its front form. Otherwise, the the suffix will take its base form, that is, its back form. | + | In modern lingustics, frontness harmony is regarded as the propagation of the F property from the stem to the suffix.
