:''‘Why is it recommended to transcribe and gloss ''gmi̯.t'' as gm{{TrSep}}t gm{{TrSep}}t find{{tf}}INF instead of gm-t find-INF?’''  
:''‘Why do you recommend the glossing transcription gmi̯{{TrSep}}t find:INF instead of gmi̯-t find-INF?’''  
:A gloss gm-t find-INF would make the reader understand that gm alone is an unmarked stem for ‘find’ and that -t is the only feature that marks the infinitive (INF). This however is not the case. The feature INF is distributed across the whole word, i.e. it is a '''transfix'''. Indeed, INF equals /_ī_it/ in verbs ''IIIae inf.'' like ''gmi̯'' and /_a_a_/ in strong 3rad verbs like ''sḏm''. With the markup with {{tf}}’, the encoder makes it clear that '''the feature INF is not solely present in the ''.t'''''.

By keeping the ‘.’, we want to make clear that the feature INF is not solely present in the -t. This remark is relevant for most of the other verbal and de-verbal forms.
