Æ /ɛ/ eh (native: jarb-jarb Æ /jaˁʱjaˁʱ ɛ/ 'Æ words'; Windermere: brits Ä) is a minority Lakovic language spoken near Wieb Province in the USB. It's inspired by Danish (and the name is inspired by the real-world E language).

Phonology

Consonants

p t tj k f s h m n ng l zj r v j /p t t͡ɕ k f s x m n ŋ l ɹ ʀ v j/

Vowels

Khmerization conditioned by initial voicing:

  • Proto-Tumhanic i > ɪ/i (RTR/ATR) > e/i
  • Proto-Tumhanic u > ʊ/u > ů/u
  • Proto-Tumhanic o > ɔ/o > o/ø
  • Proto-Tumhanic ā > ɑ > ɒ/øə > å/æ̊
  • Proto-Tumhanic e > ɛ/e > a/æ
  • Proto-Tumhanic a > ɐ > a/u

TODO: Finals should affect this somewhat

"Erhua" (pharyngealization) is sometimes used to nominalize verbs (from PLak *X) or form passives/intransitive verbs (from PLak *r) from transitive ones.

  • hæ̊g /hœʔ/ = to lose one's way > hæ̊rg /hœˤʔ/ = mistake, error
  • ngoj /ngoj/ = to see > ngojr /ngoˤ/ = to be visible, to appear
