Sound changes from Proto-Indo-European

Late IE

  1. colouring of vowels
    *e > *a / C_[k h2]
  2. merger of laryngeals into one
    *h1 *h2 *h3H
  3. loss of intervocalic jod
    *j → Ø / V_V
  4. vocalisation of syllabic resonants
    *R → *ɨR

early amessian

  1. fortition of onset j
    *j → ʒ / #_V
  2. partial satemization with plain velars fronting causing chain shift of palatovelars to (af)fricates
    *k *g *gʰ > *k *g *gʰ +{fronted}
    *ḱ *ǵ *ǵʰ > *t͡ʃ *d͡ʒ *ʑ
  3. assibilation of t before i
    *t > *t͡s / _i
  4. regressive velarization of sonorants
    *m *n *l *r > *mˠ *nˠ *lˠ *rˠ / _{u w}
    e.g. *glˠubʰós (< *glewbʰ- + -ós), occurs in zero-grades commonly but also *nu → *nˠu
  5. delabialization of labiovelars
    *kʷ *gʷ *gʷʰ' > *k *g *gʰ / _{+back +sonorant} nb. next syllable counts
  6. deletion of H replaced by lengthening or creaky tone?/stød-ish
    CeH- > Ce:-
    HeC- > eˀC-
  7. shared crazy with balto-slavic: initial e vacillates between e~a
    *e > *a / #_ (sporadic)
  8. thinning of clusters
    VC → Vː / #_{affricate}
  9. accented, stodded o breaks
    *óˀ → *uɘ̯i̯
    e.g. *óˀskɨr → *uɘ̯i̯skɨr (< *Hóh₃s-k-r̥ 'ash tree (material)')

some time later

  1. delabialization of u after velars or velarized consonants
    *u → *ɨ / [+velarized]_
    e.g. *nˠu → *nˠɨ
