=====Onset mutations=====


Onset mutations posit a great challenge to the diachronical analysis of I Kronurum. Since the previous stages of the language are not yet well documented, most of the information on this regard is a matter of scientific speculation.
Onset mutations posit a great challenge for the diachronic analysis of I Kronurum. Since the previous stages of the language are not yet well documented, most of the information on this regard is a matter of scientific speculation.


Given the data available and the currently valid sinchronic analysis, they are analysed as conforming a continuum of mutation grades from 0 to 2. The 0 degree of mutation is that of the onset vowel as it appears in the citation form of the root (nominative, unmarked). A first and secont degree of mutation will be triggered by the prepositions governing the genitive and the accusative cases: the preposition ‹ó› governs the genitive (GEN) and triggers the first degree of mutation. The preposition ‹tró› governs the accusative (ACC) and triggers the second degree of mutation. Thus the mutations of ‹d› /d/, ‹ð› /ð/ and ‹þ› /θ/, are considered part of a continuum as in the example below.

(C)(C)(C)Nu(C)(N/R)
The structure of the longest possible syllable is (C)(C)(C)Nu(C)(N/R), where the nucleus 'Nu' must be either a vowel or a syllabic [R] or [N]. In coda position, a cluster can end either with a nasal [N] or an r' [R].


The nucleus Nu must be either a vowel or syllabic [R] or [N].
<!--
===Orthography===


In coda position a cluster can end with a nasal [N] or an r' [R]
There is a Latin and a Gothic alphabet besides an in-world, "native" orthography.
