===Phonotactics=== | |||
<!-- Explain the consonant clusters and vowel clusters that are permissible for use in the language. For example, "st" is an allowed consonant cluster in English while onset "ng" isn't. --> | |||
Ancient Sohcahtoan, contrary to its more widely spoken descendant, uses the structure of '''(C)V(C)''' for syllables, which is quite different from modern [[Sohcahtoan]]'s '''(C)V''' syllabic structure. | |||
====Examples==== | |||
Ancient Sohcahtoan ''*kak'' -> [[Sohcahtoan]] '''kā'', meaning "red". | |||
Ancient Sohcahtoan ''ãko'' -> Sohcahtoan ''eōko'', meaning "blue". | |||
Ancient Sohcahtoan ''ūnu'' -> Sohcahtoan ''ānu'', meaning "dog". | |||
[[w:Proto-Japonic|Proto-Japonic]] ''*kəkərə'' -> Ancient Sohcahtoan ''kãkãrã'' -> Sohcahtoan ''kokora'', meaning "heart". | |||
