A schematic reconstruction of the proto-Permic vowel system:
A schematic reconstruction of the proto-Permic vowel system:
* Stable vowels: '''*i *ɨ *uu *e *ɤ *a'''
* Stable vowels: '''*i *ɨ *uu *e *ɤ *a'''
** Regular origins: *u, *ü_a → *ɨ; *ü_i *i → *i; *ë → *uu; ??; *ëx → *ɤ; ??
** Regular origins: *u *ü_a > *ɨ; *ü_ə *i > *i; *a *ë_a *ëCCə *o_a > *uu; ??; *ëCə > *ɤ; ??
*** Presumably: y → ʉ / _a, then u → ʉ, finally y ʉ → i ɨ.
*** Presumably: y > ʉ / _a, then u > ʉ, finally y ʉ > i ɨ.
** Length in *uu is purely hypothetical; this is to mark that unlike the vowel denoted *u (perhaps [ʊ]?), it is not subject to unrounding in Udmurt.
** Length in *uu is not assumed; this is to mark that unlike the vowel denoted *u (perhaps [ʊ]?), it is not subject to unrounding in Udmurt.
* Derounding (short?) vowels: '''*ö *o *u''' → Udmurt /o o ɨ/ ~ Komi /e ɤ u/
* Derounding (short?) vowels: '''*ö *o *u''' > Udmurt /o o ɨ/ > Komi /e ɤ u/
** Origins largely irregular, but *ä → *o may be regular
** Origins largely irregular, but *ä > *o may be regular
** (There does not seem to be an *ü → **/i/ ~ **/ü/.)
** (There does not seem to be an *ü > **/i/ ~ **/ü/.)
* A series of (long?) vowels close in Udmurt but mid in Komi: '''*oo *ɤɤ''' → U. /u ɨ/ ~ K. /o ɤ/
* A series of (long?) vowels close in Udmurt but mid in Komi: '''*oo *ɤɤ''' > U. /u ɨ/ ~ K. /o ɤ/
** Expected *oo becomes /a/ in Komi, when an older (non-surviving) intervocalic *t follos (). May be simply due to an open syllable.
** *oo actually may be split in two vowels, depending on Komi-Yazva (/o/ or /u/) and dialectal Udmurt (/u/ or /ʉ/) reflexes.

** If from *e, expected *o becomes /a/ in Komi, when an older (non-surviving) intervocalic *t follos (''ma sa tar va važ za''). Could be simply due to an open syllable?

* A series of (long?) vowels open in Udmurt but mid in Komi: '''*aa *åå''' > U. /a a/ ~ K. /ɤ o/
** Regular origins: *äl → *aa, *#(k)o_a → *(k)wåå (*kački-, *kota, *kolo, korwa, *kośki)  
** Regular origins: *äl > *aal (via *o?), *ko_a > *kwåå (*kačkə-, *kota, *kolo, korwa, *kośkə), *#a_ə > *#åå
* The vowels reconstructed here as "long" seem to result mostly from PU *open vowels, those reconstructed as "short" mostly from PU *close vowels.

The Permic languages are a branch of Uralic languages spoken in west-central Russia. The family is divided to Udmurt and Komi; the Permyak dialect of Komi is sometimes also included as a separate language.

Vowels

First syllable

Note: /ɤ/ here is actually a mid vowel, from the [ɤ̈] ~ [ɘ] ~ [ɵ] ballpark.

A schematic reconstruction of the proto-Permic vowel system:

  • Stable vowels: *i *ɨ *uu *e *ɤ *a
    • Regular origins: *u *ü_a > *ɨ; *ü_ə *i > *i; *a *ë_a *ëCCə *o_a > *uu; ??; *ëCə > *ɤ; ??
      • Presumably: y > ʉ / _a, then u > ʉ, finally y ʉ > i ɨ.
    • Length in *uu is not assumed; this is to mark that unlike the vowel denoted *u (perhaps [ʊ]?), it is not subject to unrounding in Udmurt.
  • Derounding (short?) vowels: *ö *o *u > Udmurt /o o ɨ/ > Komi /e ɤ u/
    • Origins largely irregular, but *ä > *o may be regular
    • (There does not seem to be an *ü > **/i/ ~ **/ü/.)
  • A series of (long?) vowels close in Udmurt but mid in Komi: *oo *ɤɤ > U. /u ɨ/ ~ K. /o ɤ/
    • *oo actually may be split in two vowels, depending on Komi-Yazva (/o/ or /u/) and dialectal Udmurt (/u/ or /ʉ/) reflexes.
    • If from *e, expected *o becomes /a/ in Komi, when an older (non-surviving) intervocalic *t follos (ma sa tar va važ za). Could be simply due to an open syllable?
    • Regular origins: *e *aĆ > *oo; *oCCə > *ɤɤ
    • In Komi, initial cases acquire a preceding /v/. (? *wolka, *woča)
  • A series of (long?) vowels open in Udmurt but mid in Komi: *aa *åå > U. /a a/ ~ K. /ɤ o/
    • Regular origins: *äl > *aal (via *o?), *ko_a > *kwåå (*kačkə-, *kota, *kolo, korwa, *kośkə), *#a_ə > *#åå
  • The vowels reconstructed here as "long" seem to result mostly from PU *open vowels, those reconstructed as "short" mostly from PU *close vowels.
Conditional developments
  • Udmurt *o > a / [-alv]_l (*kälä-tä- *kälü *käwd₁ə *pälä *śälä- *wäd₁ä > kalt- kaĺi kal pal ćal- val; but *tälwä *täwðə > tol dol)

Obstruent voicing

Permic is notorious within Uralic for contrasting, in the inherited lexicon, voicing in obstruents even initially. There is no accepted explanation for the origin of this contrast (outside of the change of initial *r > ? *dr > /dʐ/ in Udmurt), and some words even have voiced/voiceless variants.

In several cases, apparently a voiceless initial assimilates to a voiced medial:

  • *künčə >> *kidž > *giž
  • *kenta >> *kid > *gid
  • *kënta >> *kVd > K. gɨd
  • *kumpa >> *kɨb > *gɨb
  • *pončə >> *pɤɤdž > *bɤɤž
  • *sonta >> *suud > *zuud
  • *sompa >> *sVb > K. zɨb
  • *čeŋkə >> *čog > U. džog, žog

In Komi this is more common than in Udmurt:

  • *pontə >> *pVd > U. pud~bud, K. bed
  • *š/čamćə >> *šoodź > U. šudź, K. žodź
  • *kansa >> *kooz > U. kuz, K. goz
  • *puŋka >> *pVg > U. pog, K. bug

Sometimes this seems to be shared by Hungarian:

  • *tOmpɜ- >> *tɨb- > *dɨb-; Hu. dob- ("to knock" ~ "to thro", could be onomatopoetic. Check Trc)

However, the change is far from fully general:

  • *kunćə > *kɨdź "birch"
  • *kunćə > *kudź "urine" (+ *kunćə-lə "ant")
  • *tumtə- > *tod-
  • *künta > *kɨd
  • *čiŋka > *čög
  • *pEntɜ > *pod
  • *šoŋkɜ > *šoog
  • *čêŋka > *čog
  • *ś/ćäŋkɜ > *ćeeg
  • *kunćɜ > *kVdź (> U. kidźi-ĺi, K. këdźɨl)
  • *kamtə > K. kud
  • *konćɜ > K. kadź (cf. *ko(n)ć-ka > K. kaćka)
  • *sVŋśa- > K. sidź-
  • *süntə- > K. sod-
  • #šäŋtə > K. šogdi (bisyllabic? a derivativ?)

  • Ma *pʊndaš ~ *pɨdəs
  • ObU *ćumpəl ~ *ćib
  • ObU *kïïnt ~ *kuud

(*goobɨ "mushroom" is a Slavic loan with a voiced initial to begin with.)

There are sporadically also similar examples not from nasals.
