:''See also: [[w:Proto-Indo-European language|Proto-Indo-European]]''
* As a result of collapsing of the different gendered endings for case inflections, the case system became significantly more [[w:agglutination|agglutinative]], requiring the gender and case suffixes to be attached to the noun separately.
Pre-Owina evolved from the [[w:Proto-Indo-European language|Proto-Indo-European]] language spoken somewhere in the Eurasian steppes. The following are among the notable changes that occurred as the Pre-Owina culture made its way into east Siberia:
* Voiced aspirated consonants became devoiced (but kept their aspiration).
* Short /e/ and /o/ were raised to /i/ and /u/ to make maximal use of the vowel space.
:* Afterward, vowel length was lost, so /eː/ and /oː/ became simply /e/ and /o/.
* Labialized consonants delabialized when preceding /u/ and /o/, and palatalized consonants depalatalized when preceding /i/.
* The consonants /j/ and /w/ shifted to /ʒ/ and /v/. Unlike most Indo-European languages where syllabic /j/ and /w/ became vocalic /i/ and /u/, here they remained consonantal.
:* When adjacent to a voiceless consonant, /ʒ/ and /v/ became /ʃ/ and /f/.
* Syllabic consonants became disallowed:
:* Syllabic /n/ and /r/ fronted to /e/, while syllabic /l/ vocalized to /o/.
:* The other syllabic consonants (/j/, /w/, and /m/) took on an epenthetic /a/ to separate them from other consonants. /ʃ/ and /f/ kept their voicelessness when pulled out of consonant clusters, thus cementing them as new phonemes.
* The dual number completely disappeared.
* Thematic inflection paradigms for nouns of the three original grammatical genders (masculine, neuter, and feminine) merged, creating a fourth "thematic" gender.
:* This gender adopted /qin/, a simplification of the Proto-Indo-European word for "other", as its pronoun.
* Unlike most Indo-European languages, which simplified the robust case system of Proto-Indo-European, Pre-Owina innovated two new cases under influence from nearby Siberian languages:
:* A [[w:comitative case|comitative]], from the postposition /kum/ ("with") suffixed to the accusative.
:* An [[w:illative case|illative]], from the postposition /xin/ ("in") suffixed to the dative.

===Phonotactics===
Syllables could be maximally SPAVAPS, where:
* S stands for any sibilant
* P stands for any plosive or fricative
* A stands for any approximant, flap/trill, or nasal
* V stands for any vowel
Pre-Owina inherited the phonemic stress system of [[w:Proto-Indo-European language|Proto-Indo-European]]. No syllable in a word had to be stressed, and sometimes more than one were. Here, stress is indicated with an acute accent, written thus:

History

  • As a result of collapsing of the different gendered endings for case inflections, the case system became significantly more agglutinative, requiring the gender and case suffixes to be attached to the noun separately.

Phonology

Consonants

Proto-Owina possessed the following consonants:
