| [[Proto-Quihum/Lexicon]] | | #redirect [[Quame languages]] |
| | |
| '''Proto-Quihum''' is the reconstructed common ancestor of all [[Quihum languages]]. It's inspired by Salish languages and Proto-Indo-European. It's thought to have been spoken 6000 years before present. The main source languages for the reconstruction of PQ are [[Ancient Wiebian]], [[Thensarian]], and [[Naquian]].

| ===Consonants===

| The following inventory of consonants is reconstructed for PQ and is now accepted by the majority of scholars. Languages such as [[Adetsib]] have the most archaic consonant inventories.

| ===Suprasegmentals===
| |
| Stress was phonemic.
| |
| | |
| ===Phonotactics===
| |
| Rules:
| |
| *When initial reduplication occurs, glottalized initials deglottalize.
| |
| | |
| ==Grammar==
| |
| ===Typology===
| |
| The basic word order was V2, modifier-modified.
| |
| | |
| ===Ablaut===
| |
| Much like in PIE, PQ had an ablaut system where roots (usually of 2 or 3 consonants) were inflected in different ablaut grades.
| |
| | |
| Roots:
| |
| *''ł-x̌ʷ'' = 'be'
| |
| *''x̌-nʼ'' = 'live'
| |
| *''k-p'' = 'eat'
| |
| **''Haft'' < kapdxʷ could mean 'bread'
| |
| *''ƛ-y'' = 'grab, capture'
| |
| **Wb. ''Seime'' = hand < ''ŝīmō'' < ''ƛəy-m-aʔ''
| |
| **Wb. ''Sette'' = property < ''ŝedō'' < ''ƛyədxʷ'' (**ƛy-dxʷ)
| |
| *''n-kʷ'' = 'up'
| |
| *''q-x̌'' = 'accompany'
| |
| | |
| Ablaut grades
| |
| *''a''-grade: present tense
| |
| *''i''-grade: preterite tense
| |
| *''ə''-grade: verbal noun
| |
| *''u''-grade
| |
| *''∅''-grade: verbal noun; many derived stems
| |
| **e.g. Wiebian ''mit'' 'if, given that' < ''meiten'' 'give'
| |
| | |
| ===Determiners===
| |
| The characteristic inflection of determiners could be a relic of an older word order where prepositions were inserted between an adjective and the following noun (cf. ''magnā cum laude'').
| |
| | |
| ===Nominals===
| |
| Collectives were formed by reduplication (like the plural in Salish languages).
| |
| | |
| Plural: ''káwʼqs'' 'raven' > ''káwʼkəwʼqs'' or ''kəwʼkáwʼqs'' 'ravens, all ravens' (the former is thought to be the older form)
| |
| | |
| ===Verbs===
| |
| Verbs were conjugated for subject, object, aspect, and mood (but not for voice).
| |
| | |
| *Subject agreement: For each pronoun, and 3rd person m/f/n, and perhaps collective
| |
| *Aspects: present, preterite, stative
| |
| *Moods: indicative, subjunctive, jussive, imperative
| |
| | |
| ====TAM affixes====
| |
| *''-x'' - 2sg imperative
| |
| **{{recon|''miydx''}} = 'give!'
| |
| | |
| ===Tense/Agreement suffixes===
| |
| Subject markers:
| |
| *1sg: -n
| |
| *2sg: -y'
| |
| *3sg.m: -m
| |
| *3sg.f: -cm
| |
| *3sg.n: -0
| |
| *1pl.ex: -məʔ
| |
| *2pl: -skʷ
| |
| *3pl: -ƛ
| |
| | |
| Object markers:
| |
| *1sg: n-
| |
| *2sg: l'-
| |
| *3 (animate): b-
| |
| *3 (neuter): k-
| |
| *1pl.ex: m-
| |
| *1pl.in: d-
| |
| *2pl: c'-
| |
| | |
| ==Some etymologies==
| |
| *1: *x̌əmʼ; *kʷi-x̌əmʼ- 'only one'
| |
| **''kʷíx̌əmʼ'' or ''kʷix̌ə́mʼ''?
| |
| *2: *tił-x̌ulʼ
| |
| *3: *nadᶻg
| |
| *4: *λawpʼ
| |
| *5: *calił
| |
| *6: *sta-x̌əmʼ 'one more'; *qʷ’əl’
| |
| *7: *nʼəxʷd
| |
| *8: *lx̌ʷdᶻitʼ
| |
| *9: *pʼalʼgʷ
| |
| *10: *q’əyʼ-x̌ulʼ
| |
| *step/level: *naycʼ ('20' in Talsmic)
| |
| *stone: *ƛʼecqʷ
| |
| *water: *yənqʷʼ
| |
| *day: *m’ul
