Etinsa
'Ettĩsa
[ʔɛtt'ɪ̃:sa]
Registered by [Deactivated User] on 22 April 2015
Language type A priori
Species Human/humanoid
About Etinsa Things to consider:
- Simplify the plural system of Proto-Suvonic
- Simplify phonotactics even further: All syllables must begin with a consonant? (Make /ʔ/ written out only between vowels).
- Add ejectives.

Current sketch of plural marking: -m after vowels (causing rounding in all or no cases) and -u after consonants, causing gemination of the consonant it follows?
E.g. kõt "name" ~ kõttu "names"; opet "person" ~ opettu "people"; payu "sock" ~ payum "socks"; tĩsa "song" ~ tĩsom "songs"
