Change to a less Polynesian minlang aesthetic
 
'''Aevehāne''' (''we Aevehāne'' /we aeveha:ne/ < Proto-Aevehāne *ąiweθwānē < PQ *φan-gwetwaʀne 'self-language') is a [[Quame languages|Quame language]] inspired by Polynesian languages, Japanese, Irish, Greek and Elu Prakrit. It is spoken by the Aeharo people, originally native to the north Etalocian archipelago Ualāho we Sāvea /uala:ho we sa:vea/ (Proto-Aevehāne uhalāxo xwe sāṁēh < PQ uslāko φin- stāme) 'Home of the Six' and is an official language in parts of Eastern Talma and Northern Etalocin.
 
should have uncannily Eevo like words (PTal > Eevo has séimhiú)
 
denasalize VN before C or #
 
==Vocab==
* enaʻa = "ditch" < PQ *wjénəqʷs 'water'
* woaḍea = "stick" < PQ *kʷ'ondas, *kʷ'onday 'body'
* nāwi = "world" < PQ *snākʷis 'homeland' (~ Naquian Nāquiz, Anbirese snae 'country')
* vaero = tree
* veli = name
* we = def article (~ Tigol ''in'')
* deheno = little
* vehāne = language
* ae- = self
* hoʻo = river (~ Tigol soch, from soqos)
* ʻesi = segment (qesti-)
* asi = but (asti)
* Veāho = a name
* skwamis > wavi 'mountain'
* skanio- > xaino 'dear, fellow'
* slāmos > halāvo 'good'
* skaxtoi > xątē > xaete 'corpse'
* tnāgī 'believe' > 2nāgī > 'onāgi
* texts > teata 'child'
 
os, om > o
 
oi > e
 
is/im/ī > i
 
us/um/ui > u
 
s > ø
 
no final -a?
 
ōs/ēs/īs/ūs/ās > oa/ea/ia/ua/ā
 
== Diachronics ==
single j/s/intervocalic w loss; séimhiú single consonants like crazy (but syncope doesn't happen!) (Irish/Hebrew style séimhiú doesn't occur as a 1-step systematic sound change anywhere else in Tricin)
 
vowels are very conservative relative to Proto-Eta-Talmic; unless subject to CL, denasalized or part of an inflectional ending both quality and length stay the same
 
It also treats all 3 stop series differently (when not initial)
 
Loosely, "what if Irish didn't syncope"
* Intervocalically, the single consonants become:
** p t T k q Kw b d ḍ g ɢ Gw p' t' !t' k' q' Kw' s w j l r m n → ø h/ø r h h w b d ḍ g ʻ w p t ṭ k ʻ w ø ø ø l r v n
** Greekification: VCj > ViC' where C' is depalatalized
* Clusters simplify:
** sφ st sT sk > s s x x
** s + voiced stop > z
** φs ts ks > s s s
** rC > C, lC > C
** some ClV, CrV > CVlV, CVrV; but other Cl Cr simplify to l r
** an en in on un > ae ea ī oa ou
** stop + nasal > ʔ + nasal > vowel RTR-ization + nasal
* All final consonants disappear, but sometimes they leave a trace as diphthongization
 
How do I get all 25 VV hiatus combinations?
 
PCel ''wesākos'' 'raven' would become ''veāho'' (the vowel hiatus also occurs in Scottish Gaelic ''fitheach'')
 
gabros > gaboro
 
==Phonology==
Aevehāne is predominantly CV like most languages in Northern Etalocin; however, unlike surrounding languages it lacks clicks.
===Phonotactics===
Only glottal stops are allowed syllable- and word-finally.
 
===Consonants===
*n ṇ /n ɳ/
*p t ṭ k ' /p t ʈ k ʔ/
*b d ḍ g /b~(implosive b)~m d ɖ g/
*f s x h /f s x h/
*v w /v w/
*r l /r l/
 
w is pronounced /ʍ/ by older speakers.
 
===Vowels===
a e i o u ā ē ī ō ū /a e i o u a: e: i: o: u:/
 
nasal vowels?
 
===Stress===
Stress is always penultimate.
 
==Grammar==
Aewehāne grammar is SOV with prepositions.
===Nouns===
Plurals are formed by reduplication, as in [[Roshterian]].
 
*nāwi 'heavenly body' > nāwi-nāwi 'heavenly bodies'
*we Nāwi = Tricin
 
ei = direct object marker
 
=== Adjectives ===
 
===Verbs===
Verbs do not inflect at all. Preverbal particles are used, as in Windermere.
