17 oeM rime *-auk Yao bu ~~~ GSR 1117 - 1128 Baxter 1992: 532 ff. (§1O.2.17) See Table 16-1 for comparison ofOCM rimes *-auk, *-uk, *-(i)au, *-(i)u. The rime is mostly *-iauk, rarely *-auk. A diphthong in a short-stopped syllable goes against the structure of the CH language; perhaps the rime was really reduced to *-:>k, which in LHan had changed to -ok, occasionally to *-ouk. In this OC rime, retroflex initials do not exist in QYS Div. III (tjak jak has pushed the expected MC Div. III -jak (from *-ak) final over into MC -jak after acute initials where it merged with finals deriving from OC *-ek. 205 17-1 a b c d = K. 1117 Mand.
