As indicated in the Comparative Tables, both the velar nasal [ŋ] and the voiced velar spirant [ɣ] generally became [g] in Danian, either initially or medially (PE19/19, 23). The developments were more complex in some combinations, notably for primitive medial [ŋj], [ŋw], but there are not enough examples to accurately describe Tolkien’s intentions in those cases. The development of medial [ŋj] in the Comparative Tables does indicate that [ŋ] first became [ɣ] before developing into [g], since Tolkien said of [ŋj] that “this is ʒ + y” (PE19/23).
