<poem> | |||
I need Late Middle Wiebian (placeholder name) > Early Viet gib Wieb | |||
Perhaps I'll start with au > eaa | |||
because we need luh > là | |||
funny that even the tone matches | |||
Sie should become 'shi' in your chinese gib | |||
zi: > zaj > zʲeai > Si (central vowel) > shi | |||
/ʂɻ̩/ | |||
all the same tone! | |||
yes | |||
that would make a great Chinese parody | |||
I should have a language named Shi | |||
1: shi1 | |||
2: shi4 | |||
3: shi2 | |||
4: shi4 | |||
5: shi3 | |||
6: shi4 | |||
7: shi1 | |||
8: shi3 | |||
9: shi1 | |||
10: shi2 | |||
how do you tell the difference between 1, 7 and 9? | |||
it's a jokelang | |||
grin emoticon | |||
like everything in Kuusi Palaa is "kuusi palaa" | |||
yes | |||
ɑɑ > ɔɔ | |||
ææ > eə̆ | |||
btw the word for 'not' in Gussnish, 'owwan' is just the exlocative of 'la' | |||
is o-S the exlocative? | |||
or was it on-? | |||
ow-S(genitive) | |||
sorry | |||
ow- | |||
æn / sæn | |||
me / ow | |||
rø / tsø | |||
λø / ød | |||
?? / ?? | |||
in / not in | |||
with / without | |||
?? / ?? | |||
to / not to (used in negative imperatives) | |||
in / not in | |||
with / without | |||
like / unlike | |||
the first two don't trigger séimhiú but the rest do | |||
jia > iə | |||
ɥa, ɥø > wiə (uya, uyê-) | |||
Zürde ('offering') > xuyết | |||
nice! | |||
ɥa, ɥø, ɥya > wiə | |||
I probably won't be able to get all the viet rimes | |||
wo wua > uə | |||
actually | |||
ɥa > wɛ? | |||
ɥø > we | |||
yy > uy | |||
/wi/ | |||
oo > ô: | |||
> u: | |||
uu > ɨɨ | |||
ou > ô:? | |||
ei > ê:? | |||
øy > ơ:? | |||
ai > ay in open syllables, ɛ: in closed? | |||
same for ay | |||
au > au in open syllables, ɔ: o in closed? | |||
jaa sounds like eaa from au | |||
let's merge them | |||
waa > oa /wa:/ | |||
ɥaa > ? | |||
ưa? | |||
that's a good idea | |||
əa > ə: | |||
øø > ə:? | |||
ơi? | |||
the problem: where do I get -j finals? | |||
I should have vowel reflexes specific to open syllables | |||
yes | |||
or have AW -l -> -j | |||
like in Viet | |||
how? | |||
Viet cây (tree) ~ Mương câl | |||
Viet mười < Proto-Vietic *maal | |||
some -j finals are not allowed in vietnamese | |||
for example after /e/ | |||
just merge them | |||
về ~ Muong wềl | |||
*êy -> ê | |||
that's one option | |||
or alter the nucleus | |||
êy -> ây? | |||
*êy > ơi | |||
yes | |||
we went over | |||
ɑ > o | |||
æ > ă | |||
e. ø > â | |||
i > ê | |||
o > o | |||
u > ô | |||
y > ơ | |||
ii should move out of the way | |||
to a diphthong | |||
ơi? | |||
øø > ươi(?) | |||
i forgot wa > oă | |||
perhaps ei ou øy should become ơi ơu ơi | |||
in open syllables | |||
I need to look at each Viet rime and ask "how can I get it?" | |||
don't care much about oeo, uyu | |||
viet does have quẹo | |||
i can get -w from -f and -ft | |||
