Eadlan/Proto

Nouns

Genitive case: *-mī (sg), *-mīś (pl)

• lē̃ti > dä­ät·ə 'man'
  • t > t· due to strong gradation environment
  • ē̃ > ää (creaky voice becomes RTR)
  • chain shift l- > d- > z-
  • r- → Ø
  • ľ- → r-

if a lot of words shaped like tVCC- or wVCC- become homophones then that might be dealt with through compounding and univerbation

Rank pronouns to knock out person markers from the verb
