In this paper we discuss new evidence from Nez Perce in support of an intermediate position. The right theory, we propose, is partly, but not purely, "inside-out serial". It is cyclic domains that are spelled out one at a time, proceeding from inner domains to outer ones. But within a cyclic domain, if the domain contains multiple morphemes, these may be realized in a non-inside-out fashion: either in parallel, or outside-in. We show how the Nez Perce facts can be accommodated both in a revised version of Distributed Morphology (which we call "DM with Insertion by Phase") and in Stratal OT.
