-Inspirations: Vietnamese, Old Irish, Tiberian Hebrew, Maltese
-== Phonology ==
-p t c k kħ q = /p t k q {{qeth}} ʔ/; ph th ch kh = /f θ x χ/
-m n ng; mh nh ngh = /m n ŋ; v{{nas}} (lenis n) (lenis ŋ)/
-x s ħ h = /ɬ ʃ ħ h/
-b ƀ đ d g ǥ għ = /v (bilabial l) ɮ ð ɣ ʟ ayin/
-r l /r l/
-i ê e a o ô u = /i e ɛ a ɔ o u/; ă = shva na; ĕ = ultrashort e; ie uo
-Ultrashort vowels cannot carry independent tones
-tones of Vietnamese
-has lenition, lateralization and h-prothesis~aspiration mutations
-== Proto-language ==
-vowels: i e a o u, each syllable had high and low tones
-allowed syllables: CV, CVn, CVs, CVl (CVnC becomes CV(sokuon)C as in Hebrew)
-Todo: Stress patterns for construct nouns and dependent verbs
-Consonants: m n ŋ p t k q{{adv}} q{{ret}} ʔ b d g ʕ s ɬ w l r j
-== Morphology ==
-Old Irish-style independent-dependent verbal allomorphy, which includes tone changes (the proto-stage had level tones and was predominantly CV, with geminates, nC and sC clusters. tones in reduced syllables leave a mark on the stressed syllable, making tones more complex)
-nouns have unpredictable allomorphs as well, worse than TibH construct state (absolute~construct since easy to justify with stress)
