Rough idea: "Semitic language fit to Korean/Armenian phonology"

  • Khuamnisht-like consonants (OTog *φ p b -> pʰ p b)
  • loss of gender agreement, the OTog feminine suffix becomes -t̔ or -et̔
  • maltese ish verbs (n- t- j-)
  • all 3 tenses; no aspect
  • jussive but not optative survives
  • w-subjunctive lost
  • heavily prefixing; SOV like Amharic

vowels: a e i o u ə ɨ <a e/ae i o u eo eu>

Nouns
