Old Oxic (2014-06-19 11:32:46) :
Yeah, there's some Greek inspiration. I'm tempted to push the first palatalization onto the plain velars so as not to appear too derivative (except then it would be derivative of Phrygian- so who cares, really?). IIRC, though, Greek only differentiated the laryngeals when they were word-initial before a consonant.
I also don't like the vowel shift too much. I'm going to give it a rework this afternoon. I like the look of the language, though- it doesn't look much like Greek or Latin....

[quote] This change is not attested in any IE language, but I feel like it is plausible. Essentially, interconsonental laryngeals do not vocalize to i (as in Indo-Iranian) or to a (as everywhere else), but rather to their "underlying vowel" (e, o or a). [/quote]
Am I mistaken or isn't that the case in Greek?
Edit:

[quote] that said: why does the first palatalization only affect labiovelars?...

Izo, regardless of your intentions as creator I think we have by now firmly established the precedence that this thread is for short, more-or-less uncomplicated things, so give the other thread some love and put your long things there. Will you?

nice!
that said: why does the first palatalization only affect labiovelars? that seems a bit strange.

Heh. I've only ever been able to run the proprietary drivers. Mine's an Nvidia GeForce 9600 GT.

Articles will now notify the members of the group if:
a) an attachment is added
b) the page is deleted
c) the user checks the "notify" checkbox when making an edit
This seems to me like a good balance that should require a minimum of fiddling.
