==Phonology==
'''Flei''' (exonym?) is the most morphologically conservative extant Akya-Woms language.
*Stops: '''p t c k q''' /p t tʂ~c k q/
*Fricatives: '''f þ s x h''' /f θ s ʂ~ɧ h/
*Resonants: '''m n l rr r w y''' /m n l r ɹ w j/
*Vowels: '''a e i u ë''' /ä e i u ə/


===Stress===
Premise: What if a syllable-timed tonal language
Proto-Corded Ware had no strong stress.
* syncoped and became an Old Irish-esque liturgical language
* it develops a Tiberian Hebrew-like reading tradition which changes the original phonology a lot
* and gets revived from a secondary reading derived from that


===Phonotactics===
Use for some sort of critique
Only slightly less restrictive than Tamil; more restrictive than Latin
== Morphology ==
=== Nouns ===
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.


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


==Grammar==
article nă + various mutations (also relativizer)
*SVO or SOV
==== Possessive prefixes ====
*Both prefixing and suffixing
===== Type 1 possession =====
*cases and Suffixaufnahme; not Altaic
Type 1 possession is somewhat like inalienable possession. It is marked by adding possessive prefixes to the ''dependent'' form of the noun.
*stem changes in nouns (like Uralic)
* sèmpèlàrán > sệplă-N 'body'
*polypersonal verbs
* hísèmpèlàrán > isplăr-N 'my body'
*aspect rather than tense
* lusèmpèlàrán > lùsplăr-N 'thy body'
*mood inflections for verbs
* àsèmpèlàrán > àsplăr-N (animate)
===Pronouns===
* ànsèmpèlàrán > àsplăr-N (inanimate)
1st pers. *t, 2nd pers. *p
* láhisèmpèlàrán > lisplăr-N 'our body'
* númasèmpèlàrán > nosplăr-N 'your body'
* àlsèmpèlàrán > àlsplăr-N '3pl's body'


===Nouns===
===== Type 2 posssession =====
Corded Ware had suffixes for noun cases; however there was no separate accusative case.
Type 2 possession is the default possessive strategy. It is marked by adding possessive prefixes to the ''independent'' form of the noun.


Plurals were often (usually?) marked by stem change.
=== Adjectives ===
Adjectives agree with nouns, def adjectives take the def article (bc Hebrew)


Declension of ''*isqal'' = child
=== Verbs ===
Old Irish-style independent-dependent verbal allomorphy, which includes tone changes


*nominative: ''isqal(lë)'', ''esqal(lë)''
P{{PAGENAME}} rò.mátse, láh.ràmátse '3sg saves, 3sg does not save' --> ră:más, la:hrảmhăs
*genitive: ''isqalef'', ''esqalef''
*locative
*adessive
*ablative
*allative
*instrumental
*comitative
*essive
*translative
*vocative


===Verbs===
productive redup
Verbs had the following template:  
==== Inflection ====
  object-STEM-aspect-subject-mood
Present tense forms of ''să·kumʰa'' '3sg remembers':
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Person !! Primitive {{PAGENAME}} !! Underlying form !! {{PAGENAME}} surface form
|-
| 1SG || ''so.kúmpa-sa-t(í), .sòkúmpa-sa-t(í)'' || ''să·kommpṡẻ, ·sủgmbẻ'' || ''să·kumʰẻ, ·sủmmẻ''
