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.
