Omůj (natively hledek Omůj /l̥eˈdek oˈmuəj/) is a Polish, Czech and Hmong inspired isolate spoken in Bjeheond. Grammar-wise it's similar to Modern Windermere and Hlou.

Prohlad = a name?

Phonology

/a e i o u ɜ ɨ ai au aɨ iə uə ei ou/ a e i o u ə w ai au aw ě ů ee oo + syllabic r, l and n

/pʰ p~b m f tʰ t~d n θ ts dz~z s tɕ dʑ~ʑ ɲ ɕ/ p b m f t d n þ c z s ć ź ń ś

/kʰ k~g ŋ x h l l̥ r r̥ w w̥ j ç/ k g ŋ ħ h l hl r hr v hv j hj

Omůj words are weakly stressed on the final syllable. There is vowel height harmony in unstressed syllables, with e o ə alternating with i u w.

Vowel harmony:

  • "high" vowels: i w u l n r
  • "low" vowels: e ə o a ai au aw ě ů ee oo

Initial clusters

Typical Germanic ones, plus a few extra Slavic ones (zm, zn, zń, zŋ, zl, zr, zb, zd, zg, zdr, nr, mr ...)

Orthography

Omůj uses the (some Ldonjaman) alphabet, introduced by missionaries from Ldonjama.

Morphology

Nouns

Plurals use a suffix.

Pronouns

Honorific; proximate/obviative

Derivational morphology

Prefixes, suffixes, circumfixes

Syntax

Omůj syntax is identical to Modern Windermere.

The nominative case particle in VSO clauses is e (which is coincidentally the same in Modern Windermere).
