On Chinese sounds written with the Manchu alphabet, there are no Chinese characters for
bung,
pung and
mung, but there are characters for
fung. On the other hand, there are many Chinese characters for
beng,
peng,
meng and
feng. As for the Chinese sounds of -
n with palatoalveolars 正歯音三等, only voiced fricatives 日母 are written in both
zin and
zen. I suppose that there is a time-lag between stops including nasals and affricates, and fricatives in a diachronic change. In the first example, while
bung etc. changed to
beng etc. respectively, only
fung partly remained unchanged. In this case, there would be a consonant structure of p-=p'-≧m->f-for labials and that of t∫-=t∫'->∫->〓- for palatoalveolars There are some synchronic or dialectal examples to which this approach applies.
