Reconstruction talk:Proto-Japonic/pinkai

Why kay?

I don't think we have any evidence that this word had an alternating vowel. Unlike Japanese 手, manifesting as bound-form ta in ancient compounds, 毛 only ever manifests as ke, no?

As such, what reason do we have for reconstructing this as kay? ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │^{Tala við mig} 06:02, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
