Two of the models in the Serial Optimality Theory in which derivational paths compete and are evaluated by PREC(A,, B) family of constraints are Optimality Theory–Constraint Chains (McCarthy, 2007) and Optimal Interleaving (Wolf, 2008), with the former being exclusively at the level of phonology and the latter postulating the interplay between morphology and phonology. The present article presents a case study of vowel harmony in Kalhori Kurdish that necessitates a level where phonological and morphological processes alternate in order for the application and lack of application of a phonological process to be explained. In Kalhori Kurdish, the features of [o] are spread regressively all the way to the leftmost edge of the verb; however, this is not the case when the coordinating conjunction clitic [=o] is added to the verb. After analyzing the data collected from 15 Kalhori Kurdish speakers, it was revealed that OT-CC cannot explain the root-prefix vowel harmony at the same with the absence of this process between the clitic and the verbal ending unless the morphological information is duplicated at this level. However, enjoying the possibility of morphological processes alternating with the phonological ones, OI successfully explains the presence and absence of the vowel harmony.
