| Should i have Finnish-like gradation patterns in my new Quame branch?
| |
| yes!!!!!
| |
| that would be great
| |
| that could be open sesame
| |
| basically:
| |
| plosives lenite conditioned by syllable openness
| |
| pp > p > b
| |
| yes, b > w, d, g > j (spanish style)
| |
| k > g
| |
| pp > p > b > w
| |
| tt > t > d > 0
| |
| cc > c > z
| |
| ƛƛ > ƛ > λ > j
| |
| kk > k > g > j
| |
| qq > q > ɢ/ʀ
| |
| yes
| |
| k becomes c
| |
| or ch?
| |
| kw > k
| |
| qw, q > q
| |
| so if k becomes c, then c>z or g?
| |
| unless g>z
| |
| g > z too
| |
| will you have z leniting to j?
| |
| yes
| |
| λ > 0
| |
| but z !> 0
| |
| z > 0 or j
| |
| z from *z letnies to 0
| |
| while z from *g lenites to j
| |
| yes
| |
| unpredictable gradation grin emoticon
| |
| ł -> ?
| |
| also ł?
| |
| yes
| |
| this proto-language could be open sesame
