Idavic or Idavo-Etalocian is a Trician language family which includes Dodellic. The urheimat is central-western Etalocin.
Inspiration: Afro-Asiatic, IE
How does this become Netagin tricons?

Phonology
Proto-Idavic had a distinction between dental and alveolar~retroflex consonants, which survives in Netagin. It is thought to have had no labials except /m/; labials were gained in later languages but in different ways.

- Vowels: a e i u ā ē ī ū
- Pitch accent: modal (á), creaky (ã)
- Creaky voice is the source of glottal reinforcement in Shalaian and vowel shifts in Netagin.
Shalaian diachronics
- b > v; ɓ > b; g > y, kh, or CL; j > ʒ; ng > ng3 > n3
- Grimm's law: p t č kʷ q > f θ ʃ x H
- q G q' > H ayin q
- further shifts: kʷ' > kʷ > xʷ
- Vowel shifts: ā > ō > /əʊ/, u > /ɒ/, iw > /ju:/
- final -ā -ī shorten to -a -i
- Loss of initial glottal stop, then loss of non-prevocalic /r/
- Historical long vowels (also /ɑː/ from historical /ar/) shorten before /ʕ/
- H and ayin merge with /h/ and hamza
Phonotactics
Morphology
Triconsonantal but only Netagin preserves this
Syntax
Lifted from German: V2, SAuxOV, verb final in subordinate clauses
Todo: separable prefixes
