/m p b f v n t d θ ð ts s z ʃ ŋ ħ k g x h l w j r/ m p b f v n t d th dh ts s/x z š ng ħ k g kh h l w y r

Glottal reinforcement (transcribed by tt kk, pronounced /ʔt ʔk/) occurs before historical Biblical Hebrew emphatics /tʼ kʼ tsʼ/, and also analogically in some other cases (cf. Glottalic PIE > RP English).

/l/ allophonically velarized before C.

Mutations

Words can undergo initial lenition, as in Irish and Tiberian Hebrew:

p- b- t- d- k- g- > f- v- th- dh- kh- Ø-

Vowels

Old Knánith had a rather simple system:

a e i o u ø /a e i o u/

Prosody

Stress

Stress is always penultimate, except with some verbs where the lV- prefix does not have the stress.

Intonation

Morphophonology

Grammar

Still basically Hebrew (except with penultimate stress)
