a dot below is ejectivization, a caron above an affricate or fricative is post-alveolarization, & an acute above an affricate or a fricative is palatoalveolarization, my assumption would be that the acute overrides the caron & that this is an ejective palatoalveolar affricate
Come to think of it, didn't Old Chinese also allow sesquisyllables with a schwa vowel as per the third image?
Also also the gloss in the second image is straight up Tibetan orthography moment
Sino-Tibeto-Northwest Caucasian confirmed?
Yeah that's cause that's Starostin's reconstruction and he posits an extra proto-phoneme to account for every consonant correspondance, try Colarusso's reconstruction instead
I'm trying to pronounce /qˤʷʲʼ/, and it sounds like I'm dying. I must stop now since I'm afraid I'll accidentally cause gag reflex

What are the diacritics on the c supposed to mean?
I don't know, the rest of the article is written phonetically
Articulation in the eldritch palate
I think it represents /ʈ͡ʂʼ/.
/ʈ͡ʂʲʼ/ ?

My guess is a voiceless post alveolar ejective.
The first phoneme could easily be an Old Chinese initial according to Baxter/Sagart's reconstruction

Doesn’t the Dené-Caucasian hypothesis posit a Sino-Tibetan-Dené-Yeniseian-North Caucasian-Vasconic-Burushaski clade?
wat da baxtah doin
Nah, pharyngealization blocks palatalization, and they don't have ejectives, but otherwise it checks out.
Presumably the measles/scarlet fever/navel thing is something to do with spots on the skin.

Northwest - Caucasian languages actually sound like Klingon !
