i cant find it in the history, but i remember reading that /ke ge/ are also palatalized, [kʲe gʲe], which makes sense to me since they derive partly from historical /kiə giə/ and de-palatalization of /kʲ/ to /k/ is historically rare. Does anyone remember seeing this? [[user:Soap|—]][[user talk:Soap|Soap]][[Special:Contributions/Soap|—]] 17:31, 22 April 2026 (UTC)
