Proto *f v -> h?

yēni = laurel

Phonology

[PAGENAME] has 22 consonants:

/p t k p’ t’ k’ b d g m n/ p t k ṗ ṭ ḳ b d g m n

/s ʃ ɬ ts’ tʃ’ ʔ h l r w j/ s š ś ṣ ṣ̌ ʔ h l r w y

Verapamil non-ejective stops p t k b d g become spirants, written φ θ χ β δ γ respectively, when after a vowel and not geminated. This process is similar to Hebrew begadkefat, and some dialects even lenite m n r to /w̃ ð̃ ɾ/ in addition.

The consonants /ʔ h/ and ejectives can't be geminated.

Morphology

Nouns in [PAGENAME] come in three numbers: singular, dual and plural, and three states: indefinite, definite and construct (marked with suffixes and/or sometimes with vowel changes). Furthermore there are six cases marked with prepositions:

nominative
accusative
lative
ablative
locative
instrumental/comitative

Verbs

Verbs don't inflect for person or tense, but they have two forms: absolute and conjunct, used as in Old Irish.

Syntax

[PAGENAME] syntax is SVO and head-final like Mandarin.
