Proto-Clofabic or Tamil (Proto-Clofabic: LΛŦꝨΠ ΠΔⱵ tamil lor 'same/shared/common language'; Clofabosin: methoserotin 'the people's language'; tamilserotin refers to any proto-language) is the (attested!) proto-language of the Clofabic family, which includes Clofabosin and Phormatolidin. It was spoken 2000 years before modern Clofabosin. It is a significant source of loanwords for Eevo and other Talman languages.

Phonotactics
Proto-Clofabic allows very unusual clusters, such as dσa 'good'. However, the more "unusual" clusters are allowed only word-initially. Elsewhere, the clusters are more typical of the Talma region. (i.e. nothing I don't want in Eevo)
Also, initial ζ- is not allowed.
