'''___''' ('own language') is a vernacular in Méich Bhaonnáiqh belonging to the Celtic family It's inspired by Aramaic and also has Greek and Latin loans that look like Greco-Latin loans in Mishnaic Hebrew and Aramaic. It's the native language of the player character Ăvisvyā (from *Awiswiyā, Aoife's Proto-Celtic interpretation of her own name).

== Phonology ==
'''Flei''' (exonym?) is the most morphologically conservative extant Akya-Woms language.
Consonants: same as Aramaic but no ts and added emphatic p; emphatic stops written π τ (capital Ʈ) κ.


Coronal stops/spirants are dental.
Premise: What if a syllable-timed tonal language
* 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


Native words are inspired by PCel and only use bgdkpt stops which lenite like in Aramaic; ph > h
Use for some sort of critique
== 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.


Vowels: i e a ā o u ă (hiriq tsere patach qamatz holam shuruk shva)
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".
