abstract = "Metaphony in Romance poses a well-known problem for Element Theory, as it seems to involve lowering. [D{\textquoteright}Alessandro and van Oostendorp (2016)] propose to solve this by assuming some suffixes are {\textquoteleft} |A| Eaters{\textquoteright}, absorbing the |A| element from the stem vowel without getting phonetically realized themselves. This paper points to some problems with this analysis, and shows that Magnetic Grammar, a framework in which all linguistic variation is encoded in features, might help to solve them.",
