You have a strange way of argumenting that
sometimes you can make *no* statement at all because you don't know what
this and that was like,
and then you make a statement that this or that proto-form should be become
this or that.
This is completely incoherent and inconsistent.
As regards your claim that -j- could ever become -gy-
it's obviously wrong.
You have provided one dialectal example, ok,
but all other dialects of Hungarian do not support that.
