I don't know. One would have to examine the behaviour of sufficiently early
loans with final /-c^/. The sixty-four-thousand-dollar question is: is there
any independent material to examine? Perhaps some really old loans from
Slavic would do, but I can't think of any obvious example right now. Maybe
later.
