 = 2.2.6. Blocked alternations
-Potential counterparts do not alternate because both of them are/one of them is prohibited (or at least strongly discouraged) in non-initial syllables/other (additionally long / reduced vowels)
+The following table shows the number of potentially alternating counterparts which do not alternate because both of them are/one of them is prohibited (or at least strongly discouraged) in non-initial syllables. The number in the paranthesis shows the number of the potentially alternating but practically non-alternating pairs if short and long vowels are counted separately.

-  : First of all, it can be questioned whether /u/ : / i/ is a potential alternation (see Section 2.2.2.). If we consider that it is, the restriction of /u/ and that of /i/ are different. The vowel /u/ is practically prohibited in non-initial syllables and it never occurs in suffixes. Although the vowel /i/ is similarly rare in non-initial syllables, it occurs in suffixes, especially in verbal ones.

+  : **Rounding harmony:** Only short mid rounded vowel /ø/ alternates with high unrounded vowel /ɛ/, although they do not form a potential alternating pair due to the difference in height (cf. [[2.inventories:2.2.counterparts:2.2.4.irregular_alternations|§2.2.4.]]). High and long vowels do not undergo rounding harmony (there are no alternations /i/ : /y/, /iː/ : /yː/, /eː/ : /øː/), although any of these vowels can occur in non-initial syllables (at least in Standard Hungarian as it is reflected by orthography).

-  : Although practically all rounded vowels are prohibited in non-initial syllables, alternations /o/ : /ø/  and /ø̆/ : /ŏ/ occur in one suffix, respectively. However, because in both suffixes the alternating vowels are followed by /ɣ/, it is questionable whether these are the rounded vowel phonemes or just rounded allophones of non-rounded ones. The latter assumption is especially problematic in the case of  the /o/ : /ø/ alternation, since full /e/ has no back counterpart. Moreover, non-alternating /u/ occurs in one suffix, but /y/ never.
