In Nother, Kirumb (formerly Hadwan and Kaðuhhan) was an Indo-European language spoken by demihumans in Greece and the Balkans in the early centuries AD. The native speakers called the language Kirómbos, which was also the appellation of their own people. In origin the word is an ordinary adjective applied to things of or pertaining to gryphons, and was still occasionally so used in the historical period. Inscriptions found at Corinth attest that ΚΙΡΟΥΜΒΟΣ or ΚΙΡΩΜΒΟΣ was a designation known to at least some human (or at least Grecophone) inhabitants of the city. The modern name used in English is Kirumb.
Phonology
Vowels
The Kirumb vowel system is simplified from the Indo-European, the original mid vowels *e and *o having merged into the high vowels *i and *u.
Kirumb /yː/ has no short counterpart due to continuing a PIE diphthong *au, an unusual change via a Proto-Hadwan sound symbolized as *øː.
| Vowels | ||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Front | Near-front | Central | Near-back | Back | ||||||
| High | i iː | (y) yː | u uː | |||||||
| Mid | (e eː) | (o oː) | ||||||||
| Low | ɑ ɑː | |||||||||
Parentheses denote phonemes found only in borrowed words (chiefly from Greek). The mid back /o oː/ is harder to attest than the other foreign sounds, as it was, until relatively late, frequently spelled with the same letters as /u uː/—and those letters, o and ó, were only the Greek omicron and omega.
The short vowels /i u e o/ were usually pronounced lax, as [ɪ ʊ ɛ ɔ].
