a e i o u -> a ʲa ʲɨ a ɨ | a e i o u -> a ʲa ʲɨ a ɨ | ||
changes from proto seargais to seargais | |||
high vowels move one POA | |||
(u -> ü, ü -> i but aü stays put) | |||
i | there's the merger | ||
now o becomes u to fill in the gap, a becomes o and æ becomes a | |||
a e i o u æ ø y -> | |||
o e i u y a ø i | |||
e -> ə | |||
which triggers i -> ia, ia -> e, y -> i, u -> ɨ, o -> u, a -> ua, ua -> o | |||
so i get | |||
a e i o u æ ø y ia ua ai au ay -> | |||
o e i u y a ø i ia ua ai au ay -> | |||
u ə ia ɨ i ua _ ia e o ai au _ | |||
ø -> ɛ -> a while ay -> aɨ | |||
u ə ia ɨ i ua a ia e o ai au aɨ (i now have all the vowels!) | |||
breathy voice ablaut patterns: | |||
e/i/ai -> ə/ia/ai | |||
o/u/au -> ɨ/i/au | |||
ö/ü/aü -> a/ia/aɨ | |||
chaotic! | |||
spelling: a e i o u y w = /a e i o u ə ɨ/ | spelling: a e i o u y w = /a e i o u ə ɨ/ |
