This might be valid for the SouthEastern Dacoromanian
subdialects. But for Transylvanian, North-Moldavian and
surrounding (up to the westernmost subdialects), this
sequence neglects [g'in-d&]. Namely provinces, as I said,
where G and D as well as K and T in certain circumstances
make one and the same voiced or voiceless palatal stop.
This thing is not extant in subdialects surrounding
Bucharest and in standard Romanian which is spoken
on radioTV.

Up to here.

>/gec&/ = ghetz-]

These are not extant in the DR dialect. There is only
the diphtongued variant ['gea-tz&], which happens
to be the one chosen for the artificial standard language,
because of (historically explained) influences exerted
by the Muntenia subdialects. I underline: take [ea] as
a diphtong. The [e] as a distinct vowel occurs in the
plural only, as you've already mentioned:
