*k.n- to <d->?

@PhanAnh123: How the heck did this happen? I can't think of any similar cases. Billcipher123 (talk) 17:51, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

The known cognates all have n (including Muong lects) and at least one language has the presyllable k- so the evidence points to this being a very weird case of denasalization within Vietnamese: *k-n- > *k-d- > modern ‹d-› ~ ‹đ-›. It's very weird indeed though. PhanAnh123 (talk) 18:14, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
