Hmøøh/Drug names is a member of the Quihum language family and a close relative of the Pfeunic languages. It is the major influence on the Kammalic language Trây.
It's inspired by my older draft of Ancient Wiebian, titled "Classical Wiobian", and User:Praimhín's old conlang Windermere.

Most of the time, the stress falls on the first syllable. Exceptions are sesquisyllables that result from epenthesis of initial consonant clusters.
