<poem>
actually just gonna go ahead and say p p' b > f p b (grimm's law with glottalic pie)
actually p p' b > ph /pʰ/ p b
that's proto-pfiunic
actually should pʰ > f?
that's still elvish
f p b
PQuame:

p t k kʷ q qʷ ʔ
b d g gʷ ɢ ɢʷ
pʼ tʼ kʼ kʷʼ qʼ qʷʼ
s ł h
z λ
c ƛ
cʼ ƛʼ

But first uvulars disappear:
actually no
uvulars don't vanish
10 will be kior
in AW
uvulars merge with velars

be- will be cognate to ui- in Naquian and bi- in Themsarian
does that make Themsarian too Germanic?
bi- will be an applicative in Themsarian
then, Grimm's law

Laterals turn into click-type sounds

what to do with s z c?
s > h (like in Talsmic)?
c > s
uhh
actually h should disappear first
c merges to s
so should the glottal stop
causing vowel lenthening
should i have tones in PPfiun?
pre-pfiun
they will trigger verner's law
So I have
