Notes
actually just gonna go ahead and say p p' b > f p b (grimm's law with glottalic pie)
actually p p' b > ph /pʰ/ p b
that's proto-pfiunic
actually should pʰ > f?
that's still elvish
f p b

what to do with s z c?
s > h (like in Talsmic)?
c > s
uhh
actually h should disappear first
c merges to s
so should the glottal stop
causing vowel lenthening
should i have tones in PPfiun?
pre-pfiun
they will trigger verner's law
So I have
