-'''Old Clofabosin'''
+'''Middle Clofabosin''' is the best attested early form of [[Clofabosin]] and is the ancestor of the Clofabic dialect continuum.  It allowed more "weird" consonant clusters and vowel hiatuses than Modern Clofabosin; hiatusing vowels and compensatory lengthening from lost consonants gave rise to long vowels in conservative Modern Clofabosin.
+Important works in Middle Clofabosin include the Paliperidin (inspired by Pali and paliperidone), a text made up of philosophical poetry (palin = line, peridin = collection).

+Old Clofabosin had geminates, unlike modern Clofabosin: for example, 'to learn' was ''nibbuir'' (modern ''nịbuvir'').

+==Morphology==
+===Nouns===
+*''-in'' = that which is...?, later nominative
+*''-ol'' = nominative, later genitive; ''-o'' = combining form
+*''-as(t)'' = with
+*''-one'' = towards
+*''-ib'' = locative
+* ''-e'' = accusative, directive
+-n was originally a Caland affix -in, the source of -an (< -ain), -en (< -ein; -oin) and -i.n (< -iin, -uin) nouns in Modern Clofabosin. The majority of the largest group of nouns, the -.in nouns, acquired -in by analogy.
+===Verbs===
+*''-n-'': to be (~-navir)
+*''si'': old causative
+*''-ir'' = present progressive: ''tpoir'' = 'eats'
+*''-zo'' = stative: ''tpozo'' = 'has eaten' (the -le in modern -zole comes from eli- "to become")
+** ''-zo-ium-ub'' > ''-zoumab, -ziumab'' > Modern Clo. ''-zumab''
+*''-ca, -ce'' = dynamic: ''tpoca'' = 'comes to eat';
+* ''-ciš-'' is an irrealis: ''-ciš-ium-ub'' > ''-ximab''
+*''-il'' = attributive
+**''tpoil'' = who eats (modern dialectal ''spovil'')
+** ''tpozoil''
+** ''tpotinil'', ''tpotnil''
+** ''tpocil''
+*''-ium'' = neutral conjunctive for both nouns and verbs: ''tpoium'' = ...eats, whereas...
+*''-ub'' = narrative past and subjunctive
+**''tpoub'' or ''tpoiumub'' = ate, and then...
+**''-ium-ub'' is the source of Modern Clofabosin ''-(u)mab'' which arose by dissimilation. Modern Clofabosin thus has ''spovir, spọmab'' for single syllable verb stems ending in a vowel.
+* ''-tin-ib'' is 'in the state of' (which became a habitual) ''-vetmab'' comes from ''vet-'' 'to continue'
+*''fo'' = realis negation, ''tu'' = irrealis
+*''-d-'' progressive
+All verbs had the same paradigm.
+== Syntax ==
+* ''šop=ol tpo'' = the fish eats (unmarked for tense)
+* ''šop=ol tpoir'' = the fish is eating
+* ''šop=ol tpotinib'' = the fish be eating
+Nonconfigurational?
