gájati = to sing
Phonology
Consonants: identical to Czech (add bh dh džh ďh, but h < gh), -ḥ = [x] and -ṃ = [ŋ]
Vowels: a e i u á é í ú ej ou
Pitch accent: Proto-Slavic style?
How far to take e > a? (It helps that Czech is one of the less palatalizing Slavic languages)
Palatals come from iotation or k g before e i (like PSlavic)?
