Reconstruction talk:Proto-Japonic/pinkai

Why kay?
I don't think we have any evidence that this word had an alternating vowel. Unlike Japanese, manifesting as bound-form ta in ancient compounds, only ever manifests as ke, no?

As such, what reason do we have for reconstructing this as kay? ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │Tala við mig 06:02, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
