at the onset of [the stem]

This is what I would say (BTW, we talked about "root" and "stem" before -- I think stem is safer, becuse "root" has to meet more specific criteria):

"...nevertheless carrying over its nasal feature on the semivowel at the onset of the stem..."

Examples:

In order to derive the representations of the nasal prefix as either contained in a complex or a contour segment consisting of the nasal and the initial consonant of the stem, **the nasal prefix must leave its own constituent (O1) and move into the initial onset of the stem** (O2) in both (22c) and (22d)).

In Kikuyu, not the stem-initial but **leftmost filled onset of the stem** is taken ... /N/-prefix is an analytic morpheme: Since /N/ comes with its own domain, ...

Another observation that can be made from this data (specifically 19c, g, h, and k as well as 20a, g and r) is that when **the nasal assimilation rule deletes the original onset of the stem**, the
resulting nasal is treated as **the new onset of the root**. This is why the reduplicated form of 19c is. mmukul-mukuli. and not. mmukul-ukuli . ...

onsets; ...

Note from asker:
I don't think this is best b/c if the nasal feature is carried to the vowel, that segment would be the nucleus.
