-==Phonology==
-Proto-Pulchric has six vowels: ''a e i o u ə'', and the following consonants:
-* stops: ''p t ṭ k q b d ḍ g''
-* fricatives: ''f v s z S h''
-* resonants: ''m n N ŋ l r L w y''
-The exact realizations of ''S L N'' are not fully known in universe; the linguist Cimaterol Pradaxa reconstructed them as retroflexes, which is consistent with the Proto-Pulchric reflexes but data from Crockartoot, discovered much later, hints that these could have been palatal instead. This theory is also borne by phonotactics -- ''s l n'' do not turn into ''S L N'' before retroflex consonants, as in ''malṭə'' (presumably /maɭʈə/) "bone".
