Old Knánith is the stage of Knánith after the split from Biblical Hebrew and before 9th century CE.
Phonology
Orthography
Consonants
/m p b f v n t d θ ð ts s z ʃ ɣ̃ ħ k g x h l w j r/ ⟨m p b f v n t d th dh ts s/x z š ȝ ħ k g kh h l w y r⟩
Glottal reinforcement (transcribed by tt kk, pronounced /ʔt ʔk/) occurs before historical Biblical Hebrew emphatics /tʼ kʼ tsʼ/, and also analogically in some other cases (cf. Glottalic PIE > RP English).
/l/ allophonically velarized before C.
Mutations
Words can undergo initial lenition, as in Irish and Tiberian Hebrew:
p- b- t- d- k- g- > f- v- th- dh- kh- Ø-
Vowels
Old Knánith had a rather simple vowel system:
a e i o u ø á é í ó ú /a e i o u a: e: i: o: u:/
Long vowels were formed from V + /ʔ h ɣ/.
Prosody
Stress
Stress was penultimate for most words.
Intonation
Morphophonology
Grammar
Still basically Hebrew (except with penultimate stress), with inflected verbs.
Syntax was retained as VSO under the influence of Celtic.
Nouns
Verbs
All 7 binyanim of Biblical Hebrew were in use.
Verbs had the following forms:
- Past
- Non-past
- Imperative
- Infinitive
