[edit]Hi Crom daba, what does this letter correspond to in the reconstructions? I cant be sure whether it is something like Turkish /y/ or /c/ or even perhaps /j/ equivalent. --Anylai (talk) 23:57, 30 December 2017 (UTC)
- It's a voiced/unaspirated affricate, so /c/, although it corresponds to PT *j- in many words. Crom daba (talk) 00:48, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
- Many thanks, yes indeed since it corresponds to PT *j- sometimes, it was confusing me though the descendants had no /y/ at all. Anylai (talk) 09:30, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
