    i know it's really interesting, apparently it's thought that old chinese had beginning and ending consonants and even consonant clusters, but there's no way to confirm it 100% and there have been many other reconstructions where people read it where it sounds different with less consonant clusters, reconstructions can't be relied on to be completely accurate in general
