Piotr, you try to tell me that the output of Skt n. is either a or an?

This is not true: the output of the Skt. n.,m. is Only a

So when you say that the :

"pre-vocalic development was different n.HV > n.nV"
I can agree with you.

But this is Only just 'another way' to explain A Different output
(versus the 'normal' a) and Once You are Defining 2 outputs for the
same Vocalisation Process that initially you presented me as "One and
the Same Process":

you come "closer" to my initial assumption...

So what you say is equivalent 'somehow' with what I'm saying :

"there is NO vocalisation of the resonant in HRHV clusters because I
can see as you can see also that the n is well and safe there"
