18 oeM rime *-ai Ge bu ~~~ (1) GSR 1 - 31; 349 - 360 Baxter 1992: 413 ff. (§10.1.3) See Table 21-1 for OCM rimes *-an, *-at, *-(t)s, *-ai in QYS categories. See Table 7-1 for a comparison of OC *-i, *-e and *-ai in QYS categories. The OCM final *-ai • (> QYS Div. III -je) still rimes with OCM *-iii ~ (> Div. I) in Early Han, but has merged with *-e in LHan, when. I)ie MC -jwo (yu ~) and *-ii > MC -uo (til ±) have already become LH -:). However, in the eastern (Shandong) dialect of Zheng XUlin OC -iii has survived as *-ai; today's Min dialects and 'Old South' still have this final. LHan writes this archaic -ai for mainstream -a. A striking distributional oddity is the near absence of syllables of the type *Tai, while those of the type *(C)Lai abound (see the large phonetic series 18-7 and 18-8). The OCM coda *-i in diphthongs behaves like a final consonant, hence a strictly phonemic transcription would write it as *-j, as in OCB (*-aj, *-:)j, *-uj). 18-1 =K.l -d X =*EJ Mand. ke!
