Clickelvish gib / Elvish-PGmc hybrid
===Notes===
<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:
m n
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
y w
r l
But first uvulars disappear:
actually no
uvulars don't vanish
10 will be kior
in AW
uvulars merge with velars
m n
p t k kʷ ʔ
b d g gʷ
pʼ tʼ kʼ kʷʼ
s ł h
z λ
c ƛ
cʼ ƛʼ
y w
r l
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
m n
f þ x xʷ ʔ
b d g gʷ
p t k kʷ
s ł h
z λ
c ƛ
y w
r l
Laterals turn into click-type sounds
m n
f þ x xʷ ʔ
b d g gʷ
p t k kʷ
s ɧ h
z đ
c ŧ
j w
r l
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
m n

p t ŧ k kʷ
f þ ɧ x xʷ
