This alt. being covered by Skt k/ç should allow the order of changes in kY > ç and ke > c^a to be known (assuming there weren't many related languages with major differences in s./s/s^ between them that Skt borrowed from):


kY ke
tY ke
tY kYe
tYsY kYxYe
tYsY t^s^e
tYsY t^s^a
tYsY t^s^a ts kx
tYsY t^s^a tYsY k (brd > sound sys.)
sY t^s^a sY k
s^ t^s^a s^ k
