I’ve been working on a descendant writing system for Caber. Here it is (the images are SFW; if you get an age-verification thing that’s just due to recent imgur policy).

I think it’s plausible (didn’t Vulgar Latin fortite *j to something similar?).

As I understand it that’s more of a representational convention than unilateral voicing.

Re: The glebst of gleb, V2.0

Classical Ĝate n Tim Ar

It's about time I became more active here again, and I have the day off, so I might as well do something while I'm doing nothing. Classical Ĝate n Tim Ar (hereinafter CT ) is a Tim Ar-O language and was spoken at the zenith of the Classical Period of Tim Ar history. It was the dominant language unti...

High vowels can also change into affricates at the same POA directly before another high vowel (as is believed to have happened in various situations in Lakes Plain). High-tone vowels can break, and then you can epenthesize a conso...
