Knench /nɛnt͡ʃ/ (natively /ˈkʰnɔʁ̃nɪ/) is a divergent descendent of Canaanite spoken in Lõis Great Britain. It does not lose Semitic triconsonantal morphology, but it loses older Semitic conjugated verb forms in favor of a construction using the infinitive construct.

l and r treated as in British English, Maghrebi-Arabic-like consonant clusters

Lots of nativized Latin loans, as in Welsh

/ʏ/ <- unstressed Vw; /ʊ/ <- unstressed Vl; /ə/ <- unstressed Vr

definite suffix: /-əz/ singular, /-əl/ plural

Heth and he merge

pronouns:

  • 1sg /ɪ/, /nɪ/
  • 2sg /tʰə/
  • 3sg m /hʏ/
  • 3sg f /hɪ/
  • 1pl /nʏ/
  • 2pl /tʰəm/
  • 3pl /həm/, (after vowel) /‿m/
