Nouns

Genitive case: from *=mī (sg), *=miś (pl)

• lē̃ti > dä­ät·ə 'man'
  • t > t· due to strong gradation environment
  • ē̃ > ää (creaky voice becomes RTR)
  • chain shift l- > d- > z-
  • r- → Ø
  • ľ- → r-

lē̃ti.mī 'the man, his' > lē̃timi (final longs shorten) -> dä­ätəm (?) -> OEod dä­ädëm

lē̃tāmiś 'the men, their' > dä­ät·uoms > OEod dä­ättuus

if a lot of words shaped like tVCC- or wVCC- become homophones then that might be dealt with through compounding and univerbation
