Proto-Clofabic is the reconstructed ancestor of all historical and modern Clofabic languages. Proto-Clofabic morphology cannot be reconstructed with confidence, as Old Clofabosin had an analytic morphology with postpositions and verb particles.

(Out-of-universe note: IE coincidence is OK but not required.)
