Finally getting around to cleaning up an old conlang

[selenicseas]

Remember how I said at the beginning of June that I'd like to revise at least one of my old conlangs per month? I didn't get around to that in June, mostly because I was working on fleshing out A̋llunóñe. But in the past few days, I've actually taken the time to look at some of those old conlangs, and I've picked the one that I'll be working on this month – and, most likely, the next few months. I don't know why I thought I could get one of them cleaned up per month, especially since most of them aren't even "complete".

The conlang that I've decided to focus on cleaning up for the time being is one I created in 2015. After all this time, it doesn't even have a real name – I've been calling it either Tonal Celtic or Dauvonic. It was originally envisioned as a Celtic language with tones like Mandarin Chinese, but I'm not quite sure I want to do that anymore.

I remember not wanting the language to have initial consonant mutations, but I don't remember why – possibly because Dauvonic is supposed to be a continental Celtic language similar to Gaulish, and

Gaulish never had any evidence of initial consonant mutations. I'm thinking now that I do want Dauvonic to have them, mostly because I'm not sure what to do with this conlang's case system.

I have a lot of decisions to make on a conlang that was only ever one-third finished nine or so years ago. I'll probably make updates as I get through things, just like I've been doing with A̋llunóñe.
