Sound changes
- *ph *th *ƛh *kh *qh > resp. aspirates
- First spirantization:
- *qʰ > *χ
- *pʰ > *f
- Radicalization:
- *q > *ʡ
- *χ > *ħ
- Assimilation of dentals:
- *ts *tʰs > *ss
- *dz *tʰz > *zz > later *z
- *ƛs > *ƛʰ
- *ƛz > *λ
- Some cluster changes:
- *tk > *kt
- *tp *db *kp *gb > *tw *dw *kw *gw (should be earlier than PTal?)
- *kt *łt *kþ > *xt
- *pþ > *ps
- *ʡt > *ħt
- Second spirantization:
- *tʰ > *þ
- *kʰ > *x
- *ƛʰ > *ł
- ʔC > C[+long]
- Cʔ, Ch > Ce usually
- *mʔ *nʔ *lʔ *rʔ > also *mp *nt *lt *rt (especially in function morphemes)
- *mh *nh *lh *rh > also *nf *nþ *lþ *rþ
- Loss of laterals (nearly unique to Themsarian?):
- *ƛ > *ŧ /ts/
- *ł > *þ
- *λ > *l, *λλ > *ld
- *ḽ > *ð, *ḽḽ > *lð
- Rhotacization:
- *z > *r / _C[+voiced]
- *dl > *rl
- Epenthetic vowels are added:
- CC[+resonant]# > CyC[+resonant]# and in many functional morphemes.
- *ʁ / V_V, _C[+coronal] > *v /ʋˠ/ (a Themsarian-only sound change)
- *ʁ otherwise > *ʕ
- Loss of glottal stop:
- clitic *=ʔ becomes final downstep
- vowel contractions: (~ denotes *ʔ or *h)
- *a~ > ā
- *a~e, *ajV *a~i > ae
- *aj, a~ī > ai
- *a~o (*awV) *a~u > ao
- (*aw) > au
- *e~C > eaC
- *ej *ew *e~ī > ei
- *e~u *e~ū > ju, jū
- *ēj *ē~ > ie
- *i~C > ieC
- *o~C > oaC
- *o~i oj u~i uj > ȳ
- *o~ī > oi
- *ow > ū
- *u~C > uoC
- *u~ī > ui
- *ʕ > *ħ
- *w > *v
- *vv, *zz > *wv *z
- *bb *dd *gg > *mb *nd *ng; also *ʡʡ *ħħ > *ʡ *ħ, lengthening previous vowel
- C[+radical] > *a / _#
