Fylfathic (/ˈfʊl.feɪ̯.ðɪk/, /ˈfʌl.feɪ̯.ðɪk/, or /ˈfɪl.feɪ̯.ðɪk/; Autonym: فٖلفَنَوَث (fülfanawaṯ) /fyl.fa.na.waθ/) is a Chlesamnic language spoken around and on Mount Lebanon ([Term?]).
Etymology
The modern name is the result of the rebracketing and misinterpretation of the older فٖلفَنَوثَتٖنَگ (fülfanawṯatünag), itself from Classical Fylfathic فيُلفانآثاتيُنگا (fülfanōṯatünga), a compound of فيُلفانآثاس (fülfanōṯas), the genitive of فيُلفانص (fülfanṣ; "Fylfan people"), and تيُنگا (tünga; "tongue, language"). The modern form فٖلفَنَوَث (fülfanawaṯ) can itself be analyzed as فٖلفَـ (fulfa-; "wolf") and ـنَوَث (-nawaṯ; "-ish, ic, -ian, -ese") through the further rebracketing of the term causing "-nawaṯ" to be taken as a suffix for forming language names.
Morphology
Fylfathic is among the most divergent of all the Chlesamnic languages, and this shows in its strongly nonconcatenative morphology that works off roots as in the Semitic languages.
Nouns
Nouns have severely collapsed, losing all cases and barely holding onto gender.
