@cadxdr@weirder.earth Someone else pointed out the rareness of /bt/ yesterday and it made me realize that it'd probably either morph over time to either pt or bd, with the same voicedness for both consonants (probably bd because that one doesn't break the still-productive "sub" morpheme)

but adding some form of epenthesis probably would also work, which seems to be what happened
