* If [d] represents /u/~/v/, which would also be the labial glide /w/, and [ch] represents the palatal glide /j/, then it would be understandable that the two distinctly different glides cannot naturally be written in combination together.
Hi Geoffrey,
Thank you for your discovery and detailed analyze of texts.
I am a bit confused by this line of statement.
What do you mean by something like /u~v~w/ cannot co-exist with /i~j/? I could easily remember two very basic English words which are made from those sounds: we and you. The former is /u~v~w/ plus /i~j/, and the latter is /i~j/ plus /u~v~w/.
