Piotr, can I speak please, about "clean" velars when I speak about
Romanians /k/ and /g/ in the groups which today is written /chi/, /ghi/,
/che/, /che/?
They are not africatised like in /ci/,/gi/, /ce/, /ge/ but they are
clear /g/ and /k/ in the neighbourhood or /i/ or /e/, as clear as they
are in the neighbourhood of /a/, /o/, /u/, /ã/, /â/
If they are not clean, which is the term for describing them?
Alex
