Verse:Irta/Judeo-Anbirese

ŏ Jŏhuδing

Dom·lathṁar (**de-lath-amhar > deltamhar?) in mbróŋae den césand (the "bróngae" met us in the "césand") (direct evolution to Anbirese: **Tŏn:laδvŏr ŏ m-prongae djŏn χjesŏnd, JAnb: זאלתאבאר א מ-בּרוֹעא זאן שייסאנט אַם Caelþŏvŏr ŏ m-prongŏ cŏn chesŏnd am)

Should be as far from An Yidish as possible -- think simplified Munster Irish rather than simplified Gàidhlig

• no case unlike Standard Anbirese
• ae != e unlike in Standard Anbirese
• marks def direct objects with ljŏ
• synthetic verbs unlike Ăn Yidiș and Eevo
• Dueum bŏpchik but just for initial ni/nj?
• t and t' for unmutated tet and tav?

Phonology

Consonants

Hebrew orthography should represent diachronic voicing mutation with a prefixed aleph resulting in reflexes of ṫ ḋ being spelled אתּ אט

L is still /l/ or /λ/, fortis resonants retained as gemination

θ δ retained from Old Anbirese

cc c gg g ŋ ŋŋ

• broad x γ k⁼ g w ŋ (x γ k g w ng)
• slender ʃ j t̪ʃ⁼ dʒ (sj y tj dj) (Tigol has no slender ŋ)

tt t dd d n nn

• broad θ ð t̪⁼ d̪ n n̪ˠ (θ δ t d n nn)
• slender ʃ j t̪ʃ⁼ dʒ n ɲ (sj y tj dj n nj)

pp/f p bb b m mm

• broad f v p⁼ b v/-ŋ m (f v p b v/-ng m)
• slender fj vj p⁼j bj v mj (fy vy py by v/-nj my)

r rr l ll ṡ ss h

• broad ɾ rˠ w ŋ z s h (r rr w ng z s h)
• slender ɾ r̝ w l ʒ ʃ hj (r rj w l zj sj hy)

In sum, the Judeo-Anbirese consonant phonology is:

• Velars: k⁼ g x γ w ŋ (in Hebrew orthography q g(dag) k(rafe) g(rafe) w ʕ)
• Palatals: tʃ⁼ dʒ ʃ ʒ j ɲ (in Hebrew orthography ṣ ṣš š zš y n' )
• Alveolars: s z n ɾ rˠ r̝ (in Hebrew orthography s z n(rafe) r(rafe) r(dag) r' )
• Dentals: t̪⁼ d̪ θ ð n̪ˠ (in Hebrew orthography ṭ d t(rafe) d(rafe) n(dag) )
• Labials: p⁼ b f v m (in Hebrew orthography p b p(rafe) b(rafe) m)

Vowels

The Judeo-Anbirese vowel system is identical to Italian or Tiberian Hebrew (in stressed syllables).

• אי i (= chiriq) /i/
• איי e (= tzere) /e/
• א ae (= segol) /E/
• אַ a (= patach) /a/
• אָ ŏ (= qamatz) /O/
• אוֹ o (= cholam) /o/
• אוּ u (= shuruq) /u/

Hebrew reading

/u o O a E e i (shva na) (chataf patach) (chataf segol) (chataf qamatz)/ u o ŏ a e ė i ŏ a e ŏ, but some dialects use a instead of ŏ for shva na
