Formalize Jacobs (2026): the blockers of Latin -alis/-aris dissimilation are the segments bearing LINGUAL in his feature geometry, a derived tier rather than a list.

  • onLingualTier_iff derives the tier {l, r, k, g, w, j}; dissimilate_predicts_iff fits the 44 forms; rivals_mispredict shows Steriade's [lateral] tier, McMullin's and Cser's blocker lists, and Belth's consonant tier each fail on a form; optimal_image_output proves the OT grammar (18) selects the rule's output for every stem
  • Latin Fragment gains /j/ (Cser 2020); word forms in Data/Wordlist, Table (23) in Data/Experiments
  • Errata: (23) contradicts the paper's pre-200 AD prediction; fulminalis/fulminaris against the coronal-only variation claim; [j] specified three ways
