    Although there are no exceptions in the standard dialect, there are some exceptions to vowel harmony in some dialects of [Azerbaijani]. The most representative dialect of these types is Ardabili[, in which] (...) there is both Backness and Roundness harmony in suffixes[.] (...) However, this dialect differs from the standard dialect (...) [with] the following six words (...) which violate vowel harmony constraints: /arxeyin/ 'relax', /bınörä/ 'foundation', /bılö/ 'a stone', /bıtö/ 'complete', /ilan/ 'snake', /jıngıro/ 'very cold'.
