Aewehānoa (whe Aewehānoa /we aeveha:noa/, from φan-gwetwaʀn-imos) is a Quame language inspired by Polynesian languages, Irish and Greek. It is native to Ualāho whe Sāwea /ualaho we sa:vea/ (uslākos φin- stāmeis) 'Home of the Six' and is an official language in parts of Talma and Northern Etalocin.
should have uncannily Eevo like words (PTal > Eevo has séimhiú)
denasalize VN before C or #
Vocab
- enaʻ = "ditch" < PQ *wjénəqʷs 'water'
- ʻawoaḍea = "stick" < PQ *kʷ'ondas, *kʷ'onday 'body'
- nāwhi = "world" < PQ *snākʷis 'homeland' (~ Naquian Nāquiz, Anbirese snae 'country')
- waero = tree
- weli = name
- whe = def article (~ Tigol in)
- deheno = little
- wedanoa = language
- ae- = self
- hoʻo = river (~ Tigol soch)
- ʻesi = segment (qesti-)
- asi = but (asti)
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)
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 wh b d ḍ g ʻ w p t ṭ k ʻ wh ø ø ø l r ø n
- Clusters simplify:
- sφ st sT sk > s s h h
- 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 weāho (the vowel hiatus also occurs in Scottish Gaelic fitheach)
Phonology
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/
- w wh z /v w z/
- r l /r l/
wh 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:/
Stress
Stress is always penultimate.
Grammar
Aewedanoan grammar is similar to Modern Windermere.
Nouns
Plurals are formed by reduplication, as in Roshterian.
- nāwhi 'heavenly body' > nāwhi-nāwhi 'heavenly bodies'
- whe Nāwhi = Tricin
Verbs
Verbs do not inflect at all. Preverbal particles are used, as in Windermere.
