1986, Boris A. Serebrennikov, Questions of linguistics: Why is it difficult to believe the supporters of the Nostratic hypothesis?, archived from the original on 4 March 2016, page 35:Нельзя́ не заме́тить, что здесь та́кже применён звуково́й зако́н, устано́вленный алтаи́стами, бу́дто бы палата́льное ‹r› в интервока́льном положе́нии мо́жет перейти́ в ‹z›. На са́мом де́ле интервока́льное ‹ŕ› в ‹z› перейти́ не мо́жет.- Nelʹzjá ne zamétitʹ, što zdesʹ tákže primenjón zvukovój zakón, ustanóvlennyj altaístami, búdto by palatálʹnoje ‹r› v intervokálʹnom položénii móžet perejtí v ‹z›. Na sámom déle intervokálʹnoje ‹ŕ› v ‹z› perejtí ne móžet.
- It is impossible not to notice that the sound law established by Altaicist is also applied here, as if the palatalized ‹r› in the intervocalic position can turn into ‹z›. In fact, the intervocalic ‹ŕ› cannot turn into ‹z›.
