OS. aspirates became voiceless spirants; [{ptk}ʰ|{ptk}{ptk}ʰ] > [{ɸθx}|{ɸθx}{ɸθx}]
OS. voiceless stops aspirated after consonants except [s]; [{ptkmnŋlr}{ptk}] > [{ptkmnŋlr}{ptk}ʰ]
In both Old Sindarin and Old Noldorin, voiceless stops [p, t, k] developed into spirants medially after nearly every other primitive consonant, in particular: all liquids [r, l], all nasals [m, n, ŋ], all aspirates [pʰ, tʰ, kʰ] and all other voiced and voiceless stops [b, d, g, p, t, k], that is essentially everything but [s]. In the last two cases, the both stops in the pair both became spirants, with various later vocalic effects (see below).
OS. [oi], [ǭi] became [ui], [oi]; [oi|ǭi] > [ui|oi]
Sí yá i merende tára ava i fenna, merinye ilye otornoin yo osellin Merya Hristonosta; merin yú i vinya koranarenna almie, raine, mále, ár alasse, Parmar Eldalamberon úme, rimbe eteminye inkar, keþyalime lanquettar.
What could the noun "print" = " a result of pressing" be in Quenya? We do have the verb sanga-, from STAG, and the nouns sanga and sanguma attested.
One of the most interesting and exciting aspects of establishing a NeoQuenya consensus is, to me, to determine which affixes attested in the Quenya corpus can be considered productive in the later Quneya stages and could be considered "safe" for use. PE22 has provided a lot of strong material with regards to that, especially the participial and verbal adjectival systems. It prompted me to start a sheet of PQ roots, their Quenya verbal derivations, the attested, and the potential verbal adjectives, frequentatives etc. of them, and the potential neologue glosses we could assign to them.
OS. [ei], [ou] became [ī], [ū]; [ei|ou] > [ī|ū]
OS. [j] became [i] after vowels; [VjV|-Vj] > [ViV|-Vi]
It is well known that non-initial y ([j]) became vocalic [i] in both Sindarin and Noldorin. This is reflected in its spelling system, where i represented a vowel in the middle of words, but y at the beginning of words:
OS. [ā] became [ǭ]; [ā] > [ǭ]
In (Old) Sindarin long [ā] developed into [ǭ], and then later [ǭ] became [au]. This sound change is discussed in the second version of Tengwesta Qenderinwa from around 1950, written during the transitional period between Noldorin to Sindarin:
OS. [eu] became [iu]; [eu] > [iu]
