"Example of a morphotactic rules"

Not a native English speaker, I'm guessing from the heading. And I can't make sense of the second rule. I understand what Plural ^s means, though I would label it as Plural ^z, and explain the variation phonotactically. But what is ^z in the second rule? I suppose it could be the 3rd singular verb marker, but then why not label it as such? And if that is the case, why differentiate it from ^s phonetically? The morphophonotactical rules of the plural noun ending ^s/^z are identical to those of the 3rd singular present verb ending ^s/^z.
