The '''Corded Ware languages''' in [[Verse:Lõis|Lõis]] (temporary name) are a paleo-European (pre-Indo-European) language family spoken in much of Europe. The family's Urheimat is usually regarded to be somewhere in Central and Eastern Europe, where corded ware artifacts have been found. This article will document the Proto-Corded Ware language.

=== Nouns ===

*Resonants: '''m n l rr r w y''' /m n l r ɹ w j/

Nouns fall into 3 genders (human, animate and inanimate) and inflect for number (sg, du, pl) and case (abs erg gen lat loc voc). Possessed forms have unpredictable stems and comes from proto-forms that had a different stress pattern than absolute forms. The appropriate 3rd person possessed forms are used like construct state forms in possessive constructions.

*Vowels: '''a ~~e i u ë''' /ä e i u ə/~~

~~===Stress===~~

The locative is used with prepositions to indicate location and is the default prepositional case; when the lative is used the same prepositions indicate destination, and when the ergative is used they indicate "motion from".

~~Proto-Corded Ware had no strong stress~~.

~~Only slightly less restrictive than Tamil; more restrictive than Latin~~

==== Possessive prefixes ====

===== Type 1 possession =====

Type 1 possession is somewhat like inalienable possession. It is marked by adding possessive prefixes to the ''dependent'' form of the noun.

* sèmpèlàrán > sệplă-N 'body'

* hísèmpèlàrán > isplăr-N 'my body'

* lusèmpèlàrán > lùsplăr-N 'thy body'

* àsèmpèlàrán > àsplăr-N (animate)

* ànsèmpèlàrán > àsplăr-N (inanimate)

* láhisèmpèlàrán > lisplăr-N 'our body'

* númasèmpèlàrán > nosplăr-N 'your body'

* àlsèmpèlàrán > àlsplăr-N '3pl's body'

~~Proto-CW often added enunciative vowels~~ to ~~words ending in consonants, so for example ''*isqal'' 'child (nom.)' often became~~ ''*isqallë''.

===== Type 2 posssession =====

Type 2 possession is the default possessive strategy. It is marked by adding possessive prefixes to the ''independent'' form of the noun.

==~~Grammar~~==

=== Adjectives ===

*SVO or SOV

Adjectives agree with nouns, def adjectives take the def article (bc Hebrew)

*Both prefixing and suffixing

*cases and Suffixaufnahme; not Altaic

*stem changes in nouns (~~like Uralic~~)

*polypersonal verbs

*aspect rather than tense

*mood inflections for verbs

~~===Pronouns===~~

~~1st pers. *t, 2nd pers. *p, 3rd pers. *n~~

===~~Nouns~~===

=== Verbs ===

~~Corded Ware had suffixes for noun cases; however there was no separate accusative case.~~

Old Irish-style independent-dependent verbal allomorphy, which includes tone changes

~~Plurals were often (usually?) marked by stem change~~.
