Fylfathic (/ˈfʊl.feɪ̯.ðɪk/, /ˈfʌl.feɪ̯.ðɪk/, or /ˈfɪl.feɪ̯.ðɪk/; Autonym: فٖلفَنَوَث (fülfanawaṯ) /fyl.fa.na.waθ/) is a Chlesamnic language spoken around and on Mount Lebanon ([Term?]).
Etymology
The modern name is the result of the rebracketing and misinterpretation of the older فٖلفَنَوثَتٖنَگ (fülfanawṯatünag), itself from Classical Fylfathic فيُلفانآثاتيُنگا (fülfanōṯatünga), a compound of فيُلفانآثاس (fülfanōṯas), the genitive of فيُلفانص (fülfanṣ; "Fylfan people"), and تيُنگا (tünga; "tongue, language"). The modern form فٖلفَنَوَث (fülfanawaṯ) can itself be analyzed as فٖلفَـ (fulfa-; "wolf") and ـنَوَث (-nawaṯ; "-ish, ic, -ian, -ese") through the further rebracketing of the term causing "-nawaṯ" to be taken as a suffix for forming language names.
