ไกน and ใกน

@Glennznl Is there any evidence that the syllables like ไกน and ใกน exist in the Sukothai period's Thai language? ไกน or ใกน just look wrong. Following the Thai grammar rule, the vowel ไ and ใ are just another way to write อัย and thus they already belong to แม่กัย. I mean, they already have the final consonant (Thai grammar rule considers ย like /j/ and thus ไ is considered /aj/). It's not possible to add another final consonant after vowel like อำ ไอ ใอ เอา อาว โอว เอย etc. Are you sure that something like ไกน existed in the Sukhothai period. Words like ไชย or ไทย may exist in late Sukhothai period(?) but generally that's just another way to write the vowel /ai/ like ไชย = /tcai/ or /tcai.ja/.

@Noktonissian: I wasn't the one who created those character tables. It was user @Nicholas Mah:. He can probably help you further on this. --Glennznl (talk) 13:47, 26 July 2025 (UTC)

Hello, this is Nicholas. There were no such syllables, and yes it is not possible to add codas to those vowels. It was probably a mistake that was in there. Should I remove it? If so, it'll be a while I'm a bit busy with work at the moment. Nicholas Mah (talk) 04:23, 28 July 2025 (UTC)

@Nicholas Mah Thanks for your reply. It's OK, I can do the removal. Noktonissian (talk) 06:37, 28 July 2025 (UTC)
