Regarding the descendants of Wendoth: for what it's worth, Blevins says in Evolutionary phonology: the emergence of sound patterns that she knows of no instances in natlangs where breathiness or creakiness has transferred from vowels to adjacent consonants, as opposed to from C to V... 4pq1injbok 04:28, 30 December 2011 (UTC)

I'll bear that in mind. For the descendants, I've been imagining a sort of two-step process of V[+creaky] > Vʔ etc., with the resulting ʔC clusters merging. I think that seems plausible enough. This paper shows that Vʔ sequences can vary with V[+creaky] sequences. Alces 13:19, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
