Old Zhanîm (Old Dwarvish) Lexicon
---------------------------------

*Vowels*:

a-aa(a:)-â(ɑ)-au-ë(ɘ~ɨ)-i-ī(i:)-o-ô(ɔ)-u-ū(u:)

*Consonants*:

b--mb(ᵐb)-d-nd(ⁿd)-f-fh(ɸ)-g-h-k-kh(x)-k'-l-m-n-ng(ŋ)-p-p'-q-q'-r-s-sh(ʃ)-t-th(θ)-t'-v(ʋ)*-w-whr(βr)-y(j)-xh(X)-z-zh(ʒ)-'(ʔ)

\* note the <v> seems to have freely or unstably (possibly dialectally)
varied between /v/ and /w/, with an average somehwere around /ʋ/. The
<l> is fairly 'dark', whereas the <r> is probably around /ʁ/, with
allophonic or dialectal range to /ʀ/ (e.g. in geminates) or even /ɾ/.

Occasional etymologies or clarifications provided in italics.

*Compounding rules*:

- *Noun-noun:*\ NN compounds are head-final. They do not inflect
  internally.

- Adjective-noun: These compounds are by and large NAdj. The adjective
  takes a compressed form (the first C) of the corresponding prefix if the
  N ends on a vowel; otherwise, it is fully present in older forms,
  omitted in newer ones.

For each entry, the root form is given, followed by the grammatical
type, the noun class or verbal category (where relevant), and finally a
set of basic meanings.
