Sound changes from Proto-Finnic
- Initial v becomes p, as in pïḍ "stream" <- virta
- Medial l becomes alveolar retracted s̠ in native vocab, as in kas̠ "fish" <- kala
- Vowel shifts and umlaut: swïx "kin" <- suku, ïpšn "I studied" <- Estonian õppisin, söwr "society" ~ seura
- Begadkefat spirantization: t tt -> θ t etc.
Morphology
The Finnic consonant gradation isn't reflected in Kesmmi nominal morphology. Some nouns derive from Proto-Finnic nominatives while others derive from genitive or oblique cases (and there are sometimes doublets).
- käsy /kæzʲ/ "hand" (nominative)
- käsyn /kæzʲn/ (genitive)
- käsyθ /kæzʲθ/ (partitive)
- käsyṣ /kæzʲʂ/ (illative, from the Proto-Finnic translative)
- käsynnë /kæzʲnnə/ (inessive, from the Proto-Finnic essive)
- käsyd /kæzʲd/ (elative, from the Proto-Finnic exessive)
- käsylë /kæzʲlə/ (dative)
- käsyl /kæzʲl/ (adessive)
- käsyr̠ /kæzʲr̠/ (ablative)
- käsyt /kæzʲt/ (abessive)
- käsygo /kæzʲɡo/ (comitative)
