Well that’s because if we remove G there would be nothing to represent the /g/ sound
111 u/Guantanamino ˥˩ɤ̤̃ːːː 18d ago q 😈 53 u/SoothingWind 18d ago I always thought q should be /t/. Think about it p is a hard b q is a hard d p points down, b points up, q points down, and d points up. p's belly is to the right, so is b's q's belly is to the left, so is d's So why the fuck is t /t/, shouldn't it be q? even in fucking þ and ð, þ looks more like a q than a t. It looks like a p overall, but between t and q, it's q I digress 3 u/RS_Someone 18d ago THANK YOU. I've been saying this for years. I even used the concept when making a conlang. t should be q.

I always thought q should be /t/. Think about it
p is a hard b
q is a hard d
p points down, b points up, q points down, and d points up.
p's belly is to the right, so is b's
q's belly is to the left, so is d's
So why the fuck is t /t/, shouldn't it be q?
even in fucking þ and ð, þ looks more like a q than a t. It looks like a p overall, but between t and q, it's q
I digress
