==Grammar==
===Nouns===
Proto-Acholic had a highly eroded case system. The notation (i) denotes "i-umlaut" or a j-offglide on the nucleus.
 
*dir. -0, (i)
*voc. (i), (i)
*obl. (i), -su
*gen. -s, (i)-s
*lat. -ther, (no pl)
 
===Adjectives===
Adjectives were uninflected, because they were split off from adjective-noun compounds.
===Verbs===
Verb tenses were relatively complex, but the personal affixes were restructured.
 
the pronouns are the usual English ones plus *swe
 
when the subject is nominal singular, "he", "she" or "it", the "swe" is required for verbal agreement
 
the 2sg and 3sg distal pronouns are number neutral so they don't need *swe
 
*Imperfective (the source of the English nonpast): e-grade or otherwise the unmarked form of the verb
*Perfective (the source of the English past): o-grade or -d from -tós
*Aorist: sigmatic aorist
*Future: sigmatic future
*Active participle: -ent
*Passive participle: zero-grade with -n from -nós, or -d from -tós
