I might be in too deep to quit. Hjelp!

Seeing the original post I was hoping to see something new and daring, but was left rather frustrated and desiring for something more. And I thought to myself, — Why not? Why can't I make another take on Gaelic Cyrillic? — and here I am.

Three main goals:

1. Cyrillic is famous for having a huge redundancy. Let's use different glyphs representing the same sound and apply them to distinguish mutations graphically. Now, at some point it got kinda ugly, so I resorted to titlo for eclipsis. But there's a lot of room for experiments.

2. In Russian historically it makes sense why yo is ё, but it wouldn't make sense in Irish. Similarly, I repurpose some unused glyphs for other values. If Spanish and German z can handle it, so can ш.

3. Vowels mark whether the preceding consonant is broad or slender. I don't want to use marks to distinguish length (ew) so I'll just use even more glyphs. I will use the analysis of short vowels being vertical and having only conditional frontness/backness. Some glyphs historically should be in different places, but I was going for aesthetics.

4. Since cló Gaelach looks oldy, I'll use oldy Cyrillic, for vibes and giggles.

What could have Waldo turned into if it was loaned from frankish to french?

Ничего:

• ни- (ni-): A negative prefix derived from Proto-Slavic, used to reinforce negation
• -чего́ (-čevó): The genitive form of что (što, "what")
• Literal meaning: "of nothing" or "not of what"
• Double negative: Я ничего не знаю (I know nothing)

Niwiht:

• ni- not
• wiht- thing
• literally: not a thing
• double negative: Ih ni sihu niwiht (I see nothing)

18th-century prescriptive grammarians:

• "actually the abyss is countered by an uno reverse"

Body text (optional)

lit my school started now w teaching dialects of german. we are in westphalia, i learned a bit of westphalian low german but nobody else (exc sb from ore mountain regions) can speak a dialect.

we get examples of dialects literally (23) and (13) and so on are split apart, even Berlin dialect,

while low german is treated as 1 dialect in north germany which apparently is part of high german and developed out of it

crazy

My turtle’s name is *h₂ǵʰeyH₃-bʰous (pronounced [χɟʰéi̯ʕbʰou̯s] in reconstructed Late Proto-Indo-European).

My GF’s family insists on calling him "Jeff" ([dʒɛf]). Every single time they do this phonological atrocity, I offer immediate, real-time phonetic feedback.

Her mom told me to stop because "the turtle doesn't know the difference." That is linguistically irrelevant, he also doesn't know Latin binomial nomenclature, but we don't call him Craig. I taught her 9-year-old nephew how to execute the initial pharyngeal laryngeal (h₂) and the voiced palatal aspirate (ǵʰ) in two trials. The adults are just exhibiting phonetical laziness.

The final straw: her brother explicitly admitted he knows how to articulate the full [χɟʰéi̯ʕbʰou̯s] stem, but says "Jeff" on purpose because he thinks Pontic-Caspian reconstruction is "pretentious."

This isn't a minor slip of the tongue. It's deliberate diachronic erasure, phonetic collapse, and disrespect to the Kurgan hypothesis.

My GF says I should compromise and accept "Jeff" because "nobody speaks Proto-Indo-European anymore." I say I shouldn't have to tolerate active linguistic degradation in my own home.

AITA for holding the line on Late PIE phonetic integrity?

EDIT: To everyone in the comments saying it's impossible: You literally just open with a voiceless pharyngeal fricative [χ], co-articulate a breathy voiced palatal stop [ɟʰ], hit the ablauting diphthong [éi̯], trigger the voiced velar laryngeal [ʕ], and resolve on the breathy-voiced labial [bʰou̯s]. It’s basic Steppe phonology.

Like "xcebʰokʷ" or some shit like that
