Nouns

Genitive~accusative case: from *=mī (sg), *=miś (pl)

  • *lē̃ti > PEod *dä­ät·ə 'man'
    • t > t· due to strong gradation environment
    • ē̃ > ää (creaky voice becomes RTR)
    • chain shift l- > d- > z-
    • r- → Ø
    • ľ- → r-

lē̃ti.mī 'the man, his' > lē̃timi (final longs shorten) -> PEod däätəmə (?) -> OEod dä­ädmë

lē̃tāmiś 'the men, their' > PEod däät·uoms > OEod dä­ättuus

  • ďābeḱi -> ruob.əjə > PEod ruob.ē
  • 2isteleķi -> PEod ios.tələk

if a lot of words shaped like tVCC- or wVCC- become homophones then that might be dealt with through compounding and univerbation
