Idavic or Idavo-Etalocian is a Trician language family which includes Dodellic. The urheimat is central-western Etalocin.

Inspiration: Afro-Asiatic, IE

How does this become Netagin tricons?

Family tree

  • Idavic
    • Netagic (the only tricons branch)
    • Nabŋaic
    • Pategic
      • Dodellic
      • sth with Sanskrit stops (but vowels shouldn't be Sanskrit-y; a bit more like Lithuanian?)
      • Pategian
      • some labialless language

Phonology

Consonants

Proto-Idavic had about 27 consonants and had a distinction between front and back coronals and front and back velars. It is thought to have had no labials except /m/; labials were gained in later languages but in different ways.

Labial Front coronal Back coronal Front velar Back velar Labiovelar Glottal

Vowels

Proto-Idavic had a vowel system similar to that of Proto-Balto-Slavic.

Open e /æ/ ē /æ:/ a /ɑ/ ā /ɑ:/

Diphthongs: ay aw ey ew~jaw

Suprasegmentals

  • Pitch accent: modal (á), creaky (ã)
    • Creaky voice is the source of glottal reinforcement in Shalaian and gemination in Netagin.

Morphology

Triconsonantal but only Netagin preserves this

Syntax

Lifted from German: V2, SAuxOV, verb final in subordinate clauses


Todo: separable prefixes
