This Old Korean reconstruction is based on a Middle Korean form which has an inter-sonorant /h/, and which has a cognate with /k/ in the modern Gyeongsang dialect. While the Gyeongsang dialect has sometimes been seen as having innovated /k/, Shin Seung-yong 2003 presents several arguments for considering the modern Gyeongsang form as more conservative, and the Middle Korean form as the result of a wider trend of inter-sonorant lenition (see also Template:oko-lenited, for which phonemes the archaism of Gyeongsang has never been in serious dispute). Shin's arguments have since been accepted by many Korean scholars. Apparently independently, American linguist Alexander Vovin proposed similar arguments for seeing /k/ as the conservative form.
