Uatakassi LOOKS like it doesn't follow that trend, until you realize
that ua- is simply a gender prefix (animates other than animals; e.g.,
fire, language, social institutions, emotions, some abstractions, some
plants, insects for some speakers, etc.), so that the root is actually
Takassi.  Eek!  It's actually a closet T-conlang!  :-)
