Proto-Riphic
Proto-Riphic is a descendant of Late PIE with a Proto-Germanic and Proto-Balto-Slavic hybrid aesthetic.
Phonology
Proto-Riphic is a satem language, which means that the original PIE palatovelars are fronted to alveolar. It also underwent a sound shift similar to Grimm's law:
- PIE voiceless stops -> voiceless fricatives
- PIE "plain voiced"/glottalic stops -> voiceless stops
- PIE "voiced aspirates" -> voiced stops
Unlike in Proto-Germanic, though, there is no Verner's law in Proto-Nithish.
