In Morphology, Aryan introduced a series of innovations by mixing and developing peculiarities from different Paleolithic Codes.

The Hyperborean nominative ''-s'' for example was probably borrowed via another caucasian substrate, which completely assumed the role of epenthetic root in the construction "<small>ROOT</small><sub>1</sub> <small>ROOT</small><sub>2</sub>". Primordial ''[ˈn̠ʕih ˈə]'' "old" would therefore yield ''*knīás'' "old" (=*knih<sub>1</sub> *ás) [PIE ''*sénos'' "old"]. Furthermore, this development culminated into the Indo-European Ablaut. That is: when the accent falls into the epenthetic root, the first root suffers a phonetic change influenced by the interaction between laryngeals and vowels, which fuse into diphthongs or long vowels. This effect is considered a reflex of Umlaut in the Pangaean Code, where guttural fricatives can alternate between their vocalic equivalents and even modify the qualities of the nucleus.<br> | ||
