Idavic (from reconstructed Proto-Idavic *ʔidawi 'person') is a Trician language family which includes Dodellic. The urheimat is central-western Etalocin. Proto-Idavic is inspired by Proto-Hebrew and Proto-Balto-Slavic.
Proto-Idavic grammar was very similar to that of Netagin. Modern Idavic languages have various typologies depending on the sprachbund.
Family tree
Phonology
Consonants
Proto-Idavic had about 28 consonants and had a distinction between front and back coronals and front and back velars.

s c were lamino-dental, and ṣ c̣ were retracted apico-alveolar.
Vowels
Proto-Idavic had a vowel system similar to that of Proto-Balto-Slavic.

Morphology
Triconsonantal but only Netagin preserves this
Intransitive and transitive forms turn into agent-oriented vs patient oriented in Netagin; most other Idavic languages retain only one of the intransitive and transitive forms.
Proto-Idavic had only one true preposition, *mi. Other meanings expressed with prepositions in English were indicated with verbs.

Syntax
Proto-Idavic was rigidly head-initial with a morphosyntax similar to Lushootseed or Austronesian. Most present-day Idavic languages (except Netagin) are less head-initial.
