About Dglenian
Dambuā Ĝlenā or Dglenian – from the Proto-Indo-European *dn̥ǵʰwéh₂s *ǵʰl̥h₃néh₂ > dn̥gʰuā́(s) gʰl̥enā́ > dn̥guā́ ĝl̥enā́ > dambuā ĝalenā – is an Indo-European language closely related to the ‘West IE language families,’ i.e., Italo-Celtic and Germanic. Indeed, it developed side-by-side with PGmc and underwent its own version of Grimm’s law. Their main divergence stems from plosives after syllabic sonorants, wherein they did not undergo weakening to voiceless fricatives. Additionally, in certain situations, the aspirated voiced plosives shifted to voiced fricatives. While the language underwent sound changes roughly analogous to PGmc’s Grimm’s Law, the language did not undergo Verner’s law. Also, while PGmc stress became acrostatic, thus fixed on the first syllable of a word, Dglenian retained the PIE accent longer before fixing the stress on the (long) penultimate or antepenultimate syllable. Additionally, small divergences also occurred; Dglenian did not weaken their word-final nasals to a nasalized vowel and retained the distinction between /m, n/ in word-final positions; and Dglenian did not lose word-final non-high short vowels nor did they merge non-high back vowels. They still developed grammatically similarly. Both reworked their verb system, divided between strong verbs retaining the PIE ablaut system and weak verbs developing through periphrasis of the verb + the past tense of ‘do’ being grammaticized in the past tense. At the same time, Dglenian developed its future tense for weak verbs similarly (also similarly to Latin). The ∅-grade of the root (possibly preceded by a thematic vowel) gains the present indicative form of “buth” to express the indicative future. Yet, the strong verbs developed their future tense out of the o-grade optative (if they ablaut). Also morphologically related are Dglenian’s strong and weak adjective endings.
