The paper discusses phonologically motivated gaps in inflectional paradigms and
 builds further on the analysis in Rice (2005). In that paper, we see an approach
 to modeling gaps based on a tension between markedness constraints, faithfulness
 constraints, and constraints which require the expression of morphological categories.
 Here we explore the prediction that constraints requiring the expression of
 different categories can vary in their relative ranking to faithfulness. Hence the
 approach predicts that the same phonotactic problem may be solved by a repair in
 one morphological context and by a gap in another. This prediction is illustrated
 and further implications are explored.
