Matlang, Day 6

I just realized I've posted every other day. I actually wrote this earlier, I just set it to post later.

At the bottom is an .sc file of the sound changes. It's for Mark Rosenfelder's Sound Change Applier, I should write a review of it one of these days :).

Anyways, this a declension of ferō to bear:

   Matlang      Latin        Greek
ferō   feromes ferō ferimus ferō   feromen
fereri ferete  fers fertis  fereis ferete
fereti feront  fert ferunt  ferei  ferousi


This is assuming Matlang is descended from PIE. But it isn't; it's descended from Pre-Matlang. Which means we can supply changes to Pre-Matlang:

  Pre-Matlang       Matlang
*ferō   *feromes   ferō  feromes
*fereis *feretis → ferīs feretis
*fereit *ferount   ferīt ferount


But wait. Wasn't the entire point of Pre-Matlang to have agglunative endings which wear away into inflections in Matlang? And wasn't this whole project supposed to be based off of Material Logic? This means we can scrap the verbs and start over...with nouns. Until next time...
