Changes from Standard Lescealh Faraneit
- ʀ > r (arguably r was actually preserved instead of shifted to ʀ, but the historical record is unclear)
- ç > ʃ
- t# > k
- ɪ > ə
- ʊ > u > y
- ɔ > o > ø
- θ [ð] > f v
- k q > k, prior to all vowels except for a
- Heam (place) becomes a geographic adjectivizer.
- -eih and -eit become active suffixes again (they were inactive in SLF)
- Doan is reserved solely for men and only as a respectful form. Dekein can be used, but only insultingly for men. Dekein is the only form used for women and other animates (as well as animates).
- The flexible gender classes become closed. Humans take animate copulas and all other nouns take inanimate copulas regardless of status.
