Unfortunately, and as usual, we can only form hypotheses and we cannot decide (*) which of these hypotheses are correct. We may have subjective opinions.
Example: one hypothesis could argue that n and r are the same (or equivalent).
The fact that there are ambiguous forms may suggest (but not prove) that this is the case.
The r would be preferred when there is no preceding i, and the n when there is one (or more).

Note (*): at least not yet. It may be possible at some point.
