Celabrian: Difference between revisions

The name ''Celabrian'' comes from the tribal name ''Celabr<!--i-->i'' (Greek: Κελαβρ<!--ι-->οί) < Proto-Celabrian ''*kelabʰr<!--ij-->as'' <!--"of a warrior" < ''*kelabʰā́r'' -->"warrior" (compare Modern Celabrian ''č̣łavr'' [t͡ʃʼɫavɾ]) < ''*kelas'' "spear" (< PIE ''*gʷelH-'' "to throw, pierce"; compare Modern Celabrian ''č̣ał'' [t͡ʃʼaɫ] "weapon") + <!--''-bʰār''-->''*-bʰras'' "bearer" (thematization of earlier ''*-bʰēr'' < PIE ''*bʰer-'' "to bear, carry").

The endonym '''''gərṭeʒ''''' comes from '''''gər''''' "Celabrian" (< PC ''*wīras'' "man" < PIE ''*wiHrós'' "man, warrior") + '''''ṭeʒ''''' "language" (< PC ''*tancūs'' "tongue" < PIE ''*dn̥ǵʰwéh₂s''). The formal language is known as '''''bonṭeʒ''''' [ˈbontʼed͡z], from '''''bon''''' "clear, eloquent" (< PC ''*bʰānas'' < PIE ''*bʰeh₂-'' "to shine; to speak"). The classical language is known as '''''akrəṭeʒ''''' [ˈakʰɾəˌtʼed͡z] (Classical Celabrian: '''''akʰra tanci''''' [ˈakʰɾa ˈtant͡si]), from '''''akr''''' "precise, sharp" (< PC ''*akʰras'' "sharp" < PIE ''*h₂ḱrós''). The colloquial language is known as '''''łøðṭeʒ''''' [ˈɫ̪œtʼːed͡z], from '''''łøð''''' "masses, common folk" (< PC ''*aleudʰis'' < PIE ''*h₁léwdʰis'' "people").
