<nowiki>[ɖuq. | <nowiki>[ɖuq.ʕɐp.ʕɐɫ]</nowiki>]]) is an Ebró language spoken by the nomadic Kutic people. Their [[w:Exonym|exonym]] comes from the [[Ilda|Ildan]] word for them, ''kutinki''<ref>Meaning "house of the west"(''kutil''(west) + ''initās'', "house, home" + ''-ki'', suffix for "people").</ref>. In Maranz, the diphthong /ŋk/ became /ʔk/, leading to a sound changed ''kutikkir'', which was borrowed by [[Moshurian]] and became ''Kutic''. | ||
==Endonym== | |||
The Kutic endonym, ''ḍuq'ap'al'', is a combination of the word for home, ''ḍuq'', and the nominative and ablative case suffixes. | |||

The word ''ḍuq'' most likely comes from Proto-Ebró ''*hduhu(w)k'', which became Proto-North Ebró ''*duh(w)k''. Other related words include Julok ''duhukîtu'', meaning "civilisation", possibly linking to the prosperous, settled Ebróma civilisation in western Talkoch. | |||

In Kutic, two consonants of the same category can not be placed together, for example two [[w:Fricative consonant|fricatives]], such as /s/ and /z/, or two [[w:Plosive|plosives]], such as /q/ and /g/, would not be consecutively combinable, although an alternating pattern of said consonants, such as /sqzg/, would be theoretically possible. | In Kutic, two consonants of the same category can not be placed together, for example two [[w:Fricative consonant|fricatives]], such as /s/ and /z/, or two [[w:Plosive|plosives]], such as /q/ and /g/, would not be consecutively combinable, although an alternating pattern of said consonants, such as /sqzg/, would be theoretically possible. | ||
