Sounds

For Guddean: suopma /sʷop̚m̥ɑ:/, letno /ʎɛt̚n̥ɔ:/, jakne /cɑk̚ŋ̊i:/. Also bb /mb/, dd /nd/, gg /ŋg/

/pt/>/pl/ & /kt/>/ks/

Somewhere: dental(laminar)-alveolar(apical)-retroflex consonant mutation pattern: CjV- CV - CV́ following the native orthography rules. (vowel frontness increares)

Changes

Set one

Nasals of a language

  • /gn/ & /gm/ > /ɣn/ & /ɣm/ > /ɤ̯ŋ/
  • /ɟn/ & /ɟm/ > /ʝn/ & /ʝm/ > /ɪ̯ɲ/
  • /d̪m/ > /ðm/ > /ɘ̯n̪/
  • /bn/ > /βn/ > /ʉ̯m/

Set two

Three daughters

  • Mythological Queen Uktu sent her daughters to build settlements to three regions: Ese the firstborn ventured inland, Idi the middle daughter sailed with the wind, and Uja the lastborn stayed at the coastal queendom.
  • kt & kp
    • > xt & xp > st & fp > s & f
    • > tt & pp > t & p (V_V > d & b
    • > ɰt̪ > Uð > i/u +j (frontness)
  • pt & pk
    • > t & x > t & ç/h
    • > tt & kk > ...
    • > ʋt̪ & t̪ɰ > Uð & ʁ > i/u +j & ʁ
  • tp & tk

    • > t̪ & t̪ɰ > ð & ʁ > j & ʁ
  • lone voiced C
    • >>voiceless
    • >>approximant
    • >>different approximant

Set three

  • pl, bl > ʋ
  • tl>ɬ, dl>l
  • kl, gl > j
  • l>j
    • different symbols (ligatures)
  • pʷi>ʋe, pʷɛ>ʋæ (these vowel changes after all labialized, others unchanged)
    • in some common minimal pʷ-kʷ pairs pʷ>f: upui /ufe/ (dead) vs. ukui /uʋe/ (there)
  • tʷ>ʃ
  • kʷ>ʋ
    • modern native orthography uses different symbol for kʷ and pʷ (ku-pu ligatures)

Tones

Chanting to convey meaning (example text in Finnish "human's cat's and dog's foods):

  • íhmístèn, kíssójèn jà kóírièn rùòā̀t
  • íhmī̀stén kíssójèn jā́ kóírièn rúóàt
  • íhmístḕn kìssòjén jà kòìrién rúóàt

Ideas

Script

  • Abugida with onset and coda in same grapheme which is different from the one without coda.
    • A for ts-, and B for ts-r (not Á); codas only with "strong" onsets
    • ts-r, t-r, p-r, k-r (/r/=[r~l])
    • ts-N, t-N, p-N, k-N (/m/ as base)
    • also different distortions for vowels and diphthongs (after "weak" onsets)
    • tsekkaa glagolitsamainen, lindisfarneehkolähtöinen merkistö funktioteorian prujusta ja jatka siltä pohjalta!
