3. Status of Proposed Constraints: Necessary or Unnecessary

Constraint Status
*[+nas][-nas -cons -glottal] Necessary
*nas V Necessary
*nas w Necessary
Id nas in stops Necessary

4. Ranking Arguments, based on the Fusional Reduction Algorithm

This run sought to obtain the Most Informative Basis, intended to minimize the set of final ranking arguments.

The final rankings obtained are as follows:

Id nas in stops >> *nas V  
*[+nas][-nas -cons -glottal] >> { *nas V, *nas w }  

5. Mini-Tableaux

The following small tableaux may be useful in presenting ranking arguments. They include all winner-rival comparisons in which there is just one winner-preferring constraint and at least one loser-preferring constraint. Constraints not violated by either candidate are omitted.
