Undena Publications,U.S. Extrinsic Ordering in Classical Arabic
One speaks of extrinsic ordering when the order of application of two rules must be specifically indicated and does not follow from a general principle. In Arabic the survival of a long vowel in a syllable made closed by a contraction may be a case of such ordering, though it may also be interpreted as an instrinsically ordered sequel of 'nonproductive -- operative' rules. On the other hand, the incongruent agreement of numerals with the underlying singulars of cooccuring plural nouns is definitely extrinsically ordered.

Undena Publications,U.S. Phonological Channels in Chaha; The t-Converb in Western Gurage
In Chaha the impersonal and Sg. 3m. object suffixes labialize the nearest preceding plain noncoronal consonant. Furthermore a consonant will become identical to the next following consonant if it can do so by becoming labialized or palatalized. An attempt to formulate these rules in an economical way that reflects universal constraints on action at a distance leads to the proposal that the notation Xo be abolished from generative phonology and that in its stead there be used structural descriptions of the more restricted for [X [Y] [Z] ], having the meaning of [X, Y][-X]0 [X, Z] .
