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.

In PId triliteral roots, front coronal stops and back coronal stops could not occur next to each other, and neither could front velars, back velars and labiovelars stops.

Vowels

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

Proto-Netagin vowels

short long short long
Close i /ɪ/ ī /i:/ u /ʊ/ ū /u:/
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
