// Forked from [[User:Ceige/Sketch v2]]

==New vocabulary==

===Oldest stage (~2nd century BCE)===

*womų ‘cow’ < Tengos [ʋomɯn] 'cattle', transparently formed on **vom + plural suffix -Un, from unknown IE source, ultimately loaned from a form deriving from PIE *gʷṓm presumably

==Changes==

===Internal developments in Eastern? Wemenį before split===

# *ę → *jə

#: Breaking of ę the resulting diphthong had an unclear vowel quality , probably somewhere between *e and *ä.

# tense → +voice

#: p' t' tl' tʃ' k' ʔ: → b d d͡l dʒ g ɦ — the “tense” glottalic series is reinterpreted as having +voice. The system now contrasts: +aspiration vs. -aspiration, and +voice.

# The -idä affix becomes used more and more in a purely affective sense rather than diminutive.

#: E.g. '''*ïňïdä''' for ‘private family name’

===Archaic Stage (~400 BCE)===

# *ą → *ɔː / _#

#: E.g. *närhą → närhɔː. This split creates a compl. distribution of *ɔː and *ą (final vs. non-final).
