'''Ilithian''' (''jľoudhišká dahvá'') is a classical IE language in the [[Verse:Irta|Irta]] timeline, inspired by Czech, Sanskrit and Proto-Celtic. It shares the ruki law with Indo-Iranian and Balto-Slavic, but it is centum unlike these groups.

This occurs after laryngeals vocalize. Sometimes iotation causes compensatory lengthening ("CL") of the vowel before the iotated consonant: ''*bʰh₂nyoh₂'' 'I shine' > ''*bʰanjō'' > ''*bʰāňō'' > CIlith ''bháňů'' 'I burn'.

Literary Sebatian nouns and adjectives are extremely conservative in that they retain all 8 PIE cases and the dual number (like Sanskrit). However, a lot of analogical leveling between noun paradigms has taken place.
