Assumptions:

• Final short vowels are weakened at around the same time as Proto-Slavic reduces final short vowels to jers.
• Palatalization does *not* follow Slavic, except in affixes and function words

Feminine singular nominative *-atu was changed to *-ā > -a under Indo-European influence. The case system has also been restructured along Slavic lines. The behavior of the accusative and genitive is identical to Slavic: accusative is identical to the genitive for animate masculine singular nouns, and to the nominative otherwise, and objects of negative sentences take the genitive. The dative and instrumental/locative were formed by suffixing inflected forms of the prepositions *la 'to' and *bi 'with/by, in'.
