Hebrew
A-Tiberian Hebrew is the same as ours but with ejective instead of pharyngealized.
As in our timeline, Hebrew accents in the AETHER timeline can be divided into three major types:
- Ashkenazi-type: all 3 of segol, pataħ, and qamatz are distinct (e.g. Standard Modern Hebrew, Gaelic)
- Sephardi-type: segol != pataħ = qamatz (e.g. Vertlandic)
- Babylonian-type: segol = pataħ != qamatz
The standard and most commonly taught Hebrew accent is the same as the Lõisian "Revived Holy Land" accent (see Verse:Lõis/Hebrew).
Vertlandic Jews (called "Sephardim" in-universe) should have an original accent, with
- begadkefat acts on /b d k p/ → /v ð x f/; /g ɣ/ are always [ŋ]
- glottal reinforcement and/or preaspiration
- segol = ə, pataħ = QG = a, tsere = əy, ħolam = əw, ħiriq = i, QQ = shuruq = u
