All good stuff to know. Ү it is, and I think Ғ makes more consistent use
of my notional "little line" diacritic.
As I think I noted, though, I have no voicing contrast in any other set of
fricatives, and it's looking like the /G/ phoneme may be either eliminated
or changed. It's that or bring in a full set of voiced fricatives (В, Ж,
З, Ғ).
The more I think about it, though, the more that actually fits in with
some of the sound changes I've got in mind.
Hmm.
More later...
