Noun Declension using Mutation, Ablaut and Suffix. Does it make sense?

First of all im not sure if this is the right flair, so excuse me if im wrong

In my conlang there are 3 word medial mutations inspired by northern Sami. In this declension theyre colored in blue red and green, and there are examples on the right and left of the declension. They govern the case

The Plurality is governed by an ablaut. Basically in my clong theres vowell harmony, and so to make the plural you need to mirror the original vowell

grodar > grödar

My question is, does this make sense?

A quick showcase of my ABOMINATION of a langauge

The name of this conlang is currently Proto-Eurasian (codename). It's purpose is to be the naturalistic ancestor of a langauge family in my World

It draws heavy insparation from Proto Indo European, Proto Turkic, Proto Kartvelian, Proto Uralic, SinoTibetan, Ket, Basque, Etruscan, Ancient Greek and more! ProtoEurasian is still Work in Progress

Here are some of the features, and why it is an abomination:

- Backness Harmony

- Pitch Accent

- Ablaut

- Consonant Initial Mutation

- Split-S Ergativity

- Fusional-Agglutanative

One of the main concepts is thar ProtoEurasian works on a 2 layer basis

- The Old Layer is defined by leaning towards being genderless, non Concatenative, agglutanative, prefix heavy, mutations and ablaut

- The Younger Layer is defined by having Animate and Inanimate genders, fusional and suffix heavy

Im still trying to figure out how these two layers can interact with eachother and what layer will inhabit what niche of the grammar

A serious question I propose - Is it too much? All of these features. Are they super unnatural? Can they work with eachother? Do the 2 layers make any sense?

North Asia but nobody wanted to go West

This is an abomination. These bafoonic moronic moderators deleted my map because of it's """""""""""""lack of effort""""""""""""". They must be overthrown.

Sameshit chart as a Bulgarian (updated)

/i ɛ æ a ə ɔ u y/ are the only true vowells.

Edit from last post: I realized I distinguish /y Y œ ø/ from /u/

Sameshit chart as a Bulgarian🇧🇬

These are the real ones, everything else is allophones (æ isnt even in bulgarian, but somehow I distinguish it)
