In both dialects of Danian, the voiceless velar spirant [x] (“ch”) developed from [kʰ] when aspirates became voiceless spirants, but initially the resulting [x] became [h] (PE19/18), while medial [x] vanished between vowels (PE19/25). It appears that [x] could survive in consonant clusters, however, such as in the name Gochressiel.
