Is there any chance of unconditioned s > ts, if there are other sources of s to fill in the gap?
Ejective fricatives are rare; I have a hard time imagining a system with ejective fricatives but no ejective stops. Ejective fricatives are far more likely to affricate (see Semitic) than vice versa. The first line is completely plausible, though.Max1461 wrote:How do these changes look?
ts tɬ tɕ→ s ɬ ɕ (but ts' tɬ' tɕ' preserved)
(later)
p’ k’ q’ → pf’ kx’ qχ’ → f’ x’ χ’
f' → f
Assuming an initial inventory without ejective fricatives?
Seems perfectly plausible to me.Max1461 wrote:Is there any chance of unconditioned s > ts, if there are other sources of s to fill in the gap?
