Sketch of systematic sound changes for Knench, alongside important grammatical events
PCanaanite to Ancient Knench
- i u → e o
- ā form
- ā → ō → ū
- ay aw → ē ō
- Final ʔ and h deleted, yielding overlong vowels
- z → Basque z; s š → Basque s
Ancient Knench to Middle Knench
- Emphatics merge with voiced stops, yielding unaspirated stops; these stops are subject to allophonic voicing mutation
- Consonant shifts
- ħ ś > sje-sound (ś)
- ʕ > Eevo L
- Initial š → h
- Spirantization of aspirated stops; fricatives become subject to voicing mutation
- Unstressed long vowels shorten, preserving vowel quality
- Knench stress shift: Stress shifts to the propretonic if there is a propretonic
- Maghrebi syncope
- pretonic /a/ and /e/ deleted
- unstressed long vowels shorten; unstressed overlongs shorten to unreduced
- Pre-consonantal v ð ɣ lenite, causing loss of consonantal roots
- What else to help along?
Middle Knench to Modern Knench
- OSL
- final ə drops
- -əð → əɹ
- Non-rhoticity, triggering crazy vowel shifts to formerly non-rhotic vowels; this is the "Knench GVS"
