Druidic Hebrew is the stage of Xnánið after the split from Biblical Hebrew in the 6th century BC and before 9th century CE.
It was the liturgical language of Canaanite druidism before the religion was supplanted by Henosis Ousias.
Phonology
Orthography
Druidic Hebrew is written in an abjad descended from the Proto-Hebrew script. Religious texts were vocaluzed but not completely.
Consonants
/m p b f v n t d th θ ð ts s tsʼ ʃ ɣ̃ ħ k g kh x ɣ h l w j r/ ⟨m p b f v n t d ᴛ θ δ z s ts' š ȝ ħ k g ᴋ χ γ h l w y r⟩
/l/ allophonically velarized before C.
Mutations
Words can undergo initial mutation but the mutations are different from the begadkefat spirantization in Tiberian Hebrew.
Vowels
Old Knánith had a rather simple vowel system:
a e i o u ø á é í ó ú /a e i o u ə a: e: i: o: u:/
/ə/ was a result of vowel reduction.
Prosody
Stress
Stress was penultimate for most words.
Intonation
Morphophonology
