'''{{PAGENAME}}''' (''nə rhọb {{PAGENAME}}'' from ''*nàh ròpàh qéqèpàh'') is a classical language of ___. It's inspired by Old Irish, Tiberian Hebrew, and Vietnamese. | |||
== Phonology == | |||
b d g għ q = /p t k {{qeth}} ʔ/; | |||
aspirated stops p t c k kħ; | |||
Spirants f θ x xħ ħ = /f θ x χ ħ/ | |||
m n ŋ; ṁ ṅ ŋ̇ = /m n ŋ; v{{nas}} (lenis n) (lenis ŋ)/ | |||
x s h = /ɬ ʃ h/ | |||
b ƀ đ d y g ǥ = /v b(impl) d(impl) ð j ɣ (Eevo L)/ | |||
r l rh /r l (flap)/ | |||
hm hn hng hr voiceless resonants | |||
i ê e a o ô u = /i e ɛ a ɔ o u/; ă = shva na; ĕ = ultrashort e; iê uô | |||
Ultrashort vowels cannot carry independent tones | |||
tones: a á à ả ã ạ (mid~falling high low rising~dipping nga nang) | |||
=== Mutations === | |||
# Lenition: m n ŋ p t c k kħ s v l r -> ṁ ṅ ŋ̇ b d y g għ h 0 l rh | |||
# L-coloring: m n ŋ p t c k kħ s v l r -> m l ŋ ƀ đ ǥ ǥ għ x l l r | |||
# Aspiration: m n ŋ p t c k kħ s v l r -> hm hn hŋ ph th ch kh ħ s ph x hr | |||
== Proto-language == | |||
5 vowels: i e a o u; each mora had high and low tones | |||
allowed syllables: CV, CVn, CVh, CVl (CVnC becomes CV(sokuon)C as in Hebrew) | |||
Todo: Stress patterns for construct nouns and dependent verbs | |||
Consonants: m n ŋ p t c k q 2 s w l r y /m n ŋ p t k q{{adv}} q{{ret}} ʔ ʃ w l r j/ | |||
Tone reflexes (' denotes stress): | |||
(these occur by moras with long vowels counting as 2 moras): 'á > á; 'à > à; 'á.á > ã; 'á.à > a; 'à.á > ả; 'à.à > ạ (This occurs before syncope) | |||
umlaut like in OIr | |||
== Morphology == | |||
=== Nouns === | |||
Nouns fall into 3 genders (human, animate and inanimate) and inflect for number (sg, du, pl) and case (abs erg gen lat loc voc). Possessed forms have unpredictable stems and comes from proto-forms that had a different stress pattern than absolute forms. The appropriate 3rd person possessed forms are used like construct state forms in possessive constructions. | |||
The locative is used with prepositions to indicate location and is the default prepositional case; when the lative is used the same prepositions indicate destination, and when the ergative is used they indicate "motion from". | |||

==== Possessive prefixes ==== | |||
===== Type 1 possession ===== | |||
Type 1 possession is somewhat like inalienable possession. It is marked by adding possessive prefixes to the ''dependent'' form of the noun. | |||
* sèmpèŋàrán > sệpŋă-N 'body' | |||
* hísèmpèŋàrán > ispŋăr-N 'my body' | |||
* ŋusèmpèŋàrán > ŋùspŋăr-N 'thy body' | |||
* àsèmpèŋàrán > àspŋăr-N (animate) | |||
* ànsèmpèŋàrán > àspŋăr-N (inanimate) | |||
* láhisèmpèŋàrán > lispŋăr-N 'our body' | |||
* númasèmpèŋàrán > nospŋăr-N 'your body' | |||
* àlsèmpèŋàrán > àxpŋăr-N '3pl's body' | |||
===== Type 2 posssession ===== | |||
Type 2 possession is the default possessive strategy. It is marked by adding possessive prefixes to the ''independent'' form of the noun. | |||
=== Adjectives === | |||
Adjectives agree with nouns, def adjectives take the def article (bc Hebrew) | |||
=== Verbs === | |||
Old Irish-style independent-dependent verbal allomorphy, which includes tone changes | |||
