An editing oversight resulted in the following:

> See the paper linked to above for reasons why -N'T should be considered an inflectional ending (or "clitic" in technical terms).

This is, of course, backwards. It is the contraction viewpoint that has -N'T as a clitic, not the inflection viewpoint. 

Apologies,
Brett
