for proto-s-wiebic:
what about a GVS (əy > ii > ay > əə > aa > ee and əw > uu > au > oo) in open syllables and another vowel shift (ii ee ay əy)(uu oo aw əw) in closed syllables?
iw > iə and uy > uə as i had before
this is still pre-s-wiebic
(inspired by your first draft of zoomic)
consonant shift: actually, should i use grimm's law for this one and keep ejectives for myuftseezh?

  • nīmə "water" > naymə

numbers:
sorry
səyḱ'u > /si:c'u/
kʷ'li > *k'lī > /k'laj/
sqā > /sqa:/ (vowel raising shifts blocked after uvulars)
māwi > /me:wi/
payku > /pə:ku/
hə̄ƛix̌ > /ha:tɬiχ/
c̣ʼəthə̄ > /tʂətta:/
pʼaŋud > /p'aŋud/
ḱ'awń > /c'o:n/
xʷqāx̌ṭʼī > xʷqā̌qṭʼī > xʷqāqṭʼī > /xʷqa:qtaj/
kʷʼə̄cʼiw > /kʷ'a:ts'iə/
cʼiw > /ts'iə/
I'll have to do something with laryngeals - but what
maybe they become breathy voice which makes breathy voiced plosives
ha:tɬiχ > ha:tɬə̤ > ha:dɮʰə
(the vowel shift should depend on the laryngeal)

i love the breathy voice idea
btw I should have more clusters in PM since Dry Icelandic (geminates), Myuftseezh (big clusters) and S-Cuatham (clicks) rely on them
