What changed
- noun & verb pre- and post-bound forms for 2, 3, 4, and 5 phoneme radicals.
The changes
Tæĺf
- o → u / __ X[+labial]
- a → ɐ
- o,e → ə
- i,y,u → ʉ/ɨ
- reduced vowels disappear, diphthongise
- {ə,ʉ,ɐ} → ∅ / __ #
- {ʉ,ə} → {ʉu̯,əu̯} / __ ]σ
- In stressed syllables, long vowels shifted down; long low vowels diphthongised:
- ī → ē, ē → ǣ, ā → au̯, ō → ā, ū → ō
- Long vowels shorten in a closed syllable
- Vː → [-long] / __ C1]σ
- ī → i, ē → e, ǣ → æ, ā → a, ō → o, ū → u
- non-sonorant consonants devoice at the end of a word
- C[-son] → [-voice] / __ #
- consonants devoice before a devoiced consonant (/sound)
- C → [-voice] / __ C[-voice]
- non-coronal (dental/alveolar) fricatives become stops word-finally when after a vowel or voiced sonorant
- C[-coronal] → [+stop] / V __ #
- C[-coronal] → [+stop] / C[+son,+vc] __ #
- voiced non-nasal labials and velars (non-coronals) become approximants
- C[+cons,-cor,-nas,+vc] → [+approx]
- {u̯,v,w} → w
- g → ɣ
- some things become stops at the beginning of syllables:
- ɣ,ŋ → g / σ[ __
- w → b / σ[ __
- some things become stops at the end of words or syllables:
- w → p / __ #
- big changes in codas:
- l → o̯ / V __ C0 ]σ
- {k,g,z} → {x,ɣ,j} / {V,C[+son]} __ C1 ]σ
- C[+stop,-vc] → [-stop] / __ C1 ]σ
- continual process of devoicing reapplies to fix recent problems
- {o̯,w} → f / __ C[-vc]
- beginning of words starting with vowels acquire an h, if vowel is long, vowel shortens:
- V → [-long] / # __
- ∅ → h / # __ V
Orthography
- Devoiced sonorants:
- l → ĺ, r → ŕ, n → ń, m → ḿ, ŋ → ŋ´, j → ś
- glide
- o̯ → ɬ
- vowels
- ɨ/ʉ → y, ɐ → a, a → á
- pronunciation of some vowels:
- y [ɜ], u [ʊ], i [ɪ], o [ɔ], e [ɛ], æ [a], a [ɐ], á [ɑ], ū [u], ī [i], ō [o], ē [e], ā [ɒ], ǣ [æ]
