Proto-Pfeunic is the common ancestor to Pfeunic, one of the largest branches of the Quihum languages.
"An additional constraint prohibited roots containing both a voiced aspirated and a voiceless plosive (**tebʰ-), unless the latter occurs in a word-initial cluster after an *s (e.g. *stebʰ- 'to stiffen'). Taken together with the abundance of *DʰeDʰ-type roots, it has been proposed that this distribution results from a limited process of voice assimilation in pre-PIE, where a voiceless stop was assimilated to a voiced aspirate, if another one followed or preceded within a root."
Phonology
- l > r? lʼ > l
- mC, nC, lC > um, un, ul (word-initially)
- s > s/z?
- z, n', l > r
- -sm-, -sn-, -sl-, -sr- > mm, nn, ll, rr
- -łm-, -łn- > lm, ll
- -ł > -:
- m'-, w' > wr-?
- What if some z c c' become PPf dentals (d t þ)?
- PQ sc > PPf st
Consonants
Similar to PGmc, with addition of ŧ, đ, ŝ /tɬ, dɮ, ɧ/.
Vowels
Vocalism should be similar to PGmc.
