I'd also like to add two more conlangs:
Ancient Atlantaic:
Eda i ie:n
I pr. fish
pr. = predicate
New Bri:sz (a descendant of Ancient Atlantaic)
Ja vei
I fish
The word _vei_ derives from an ancient borrowing of the Nindic word _ffiw_
The word _ja_ derives regularly from ancient Atlantaic _eda_
The sequence of sound changes was:
/Eda/ > /ED/ > /jED/ > /jE:/ > /je:/ > /jeI/ > /joI/ > /jo@/
> /jo:/ > /jA:/ > /ja:/ > /ja/
Do you guys think that these are plausible changes to occur over a time span of around 3000 years?
Thanks!
