Well, I'll need to put those notes down somewhere anyway… might as well put them here.

Sound changes

Dialectally complete

• le ne → ː / 'V_C in verb roots (oon tuun meen paan)
• eA → eː
• ie yø uo → iɛ yœ uɔ
• n → ˣ / _#
• d → ∅ / h_
• enään (soundchange / analogy with tänään?)
• -kO → -ks

Dialectally underway

• æ → ɑ / unstressed
• p k → b ɡ / V_V (tsygä, väbä etc.)
• o → u / _i (muimui etc.)

Possingly beginning

• ks → kʃ
• ll → ʎ
• ŭ → ʉ
• k ɡ ʋ → s / 'Vr_e (except i_re)

Entirely new stuff

• ĕ → ɛ / unstressed
• æ → ɛ (would be about time)
• y → ʉ, ju
• iɛ yœ uɔ → jɛ uœ wɔ
• j → ʃ / {p t k}_
• kʃ → ʃ
• ʋu → bʷ / _V (don't think this is even found in any other environment, but eh)
• unstressed vowel length lost
• Pː → ˣP (only required to deal with the next one neatly)
• ˣ → ˥
• h → ˩ / _C, → ∅ / V_V

To be decided

• Do any of -t-, -d-, -r- merge?
• Foot weight / position conditioning of medial voicing
• Whether we'll have middle tone; if not, how do vowels before voiced sounds develop
• How stress shifts
• Initial palatalization
• Getting /ts/ out of /s/
• Stressed long vowels: to shorten or difthongize?
