The purpose of this paper is to find out which is the best way to describe the phonological phenomena in relation to the stem-final M. The phonological phenomena such as /h/ deletion, /h/ unreleasing and /h/ nasalization were first analyzed in the standard generative phonological approach and within the framework of LP. Then they were reexamined by introducing the concept of 01'. Through the analysis of the phonological phenomena of the stem-final /h/, it can be concluded that /h/ alternation in the syllable final position is purely phonologically conditioned and that it can be regarded as the result of the effort to minimize the syllable coda.
