Kìyevame vs Kiyevame

[Ftiafpi]

In a quick P.S. (Hì'ia 'upxare ) I quickly asked heir Frommer if there was a preference between the two and got this in response:

Kìyevame is preferable, since the canonical infix is -ìyev-. But in fast speech the two forms sound pretty close to me.

I found this quite interesting given Na'vi's love of allomorphs. Though, I suppose that this has always been the case, I imagine "oel ngati kameie" is the "normal" form of the phrase despite the fact that other forms are "correct".
