Húsnorsk: Difference between revisions

Line 32:

Húsnorsk's phonological history is, for the most part, deeply understood. The development of certain consonants and vowels isn't fully understood, such as the mechanism behind Old Norse "ár" to Húsnorsk "aą", and Old Norse initial /x/ to Húsnorsk /k/, the latter of which is extremely poorly understood as it's not known what caused it nor where it happens.

The following are the reconstructed ~~sound~~ changes between Old West Norse and Húsnorsk. (IRL note - Do ~~note~~ these are prone to change as I develop Húsnorsk more)

The following are the reconstructed phonological and grammatical changes between Old West Norse and Húsnorsk. Grammatical changes will be indented.

:(IRL note - Do keep in mind these are prone to change as I develop Húsnorsk more)

/ar/ to /r̩/, the mechnism behind "ár" > "aą" is currently unknown, but it may have occurred out of analogy.

/xʷ/ to /x/, the lost labialization affects the vowel, rounding or raising vowels.

:Masculine a-stems reformed to all end in -r regardless of final consonant
