Old Veyata - Lexicon

Guiding principle

The lexicon shows Old Veyata as an independent intermediate stage, not just as "early Veyrathi".
Many forms are clearly related to the daughter languages, but still retain more open full forms or older fields of meaning.
The tables deliberately mention the later reflexes in Veyrathi and Veytharisch so that the intermediate position remains visible.

Alt-Veyata already prefers open, regular trunk exits without completely giving up the full old depth.
In the vocabulary it is clearly visible that Veyrathi usually continues the more open core and Veytharisch often continues the denser edges.
This is precisely why Alt-Veyata's lexicon is particularly informative about the family's historical middle position.
