Preaspiration in Old Mongolian?

Summary, in English

In this article, I present evidence that Old Mongolian had preaspirated stops

and affricates, like modern Halh Mongolian. The evidence consists of a

number of historical phonological processes where two consonants on either

side of a vowel interact with each other, and which are best explained by the

assumption that the preceding consonant is postaspirated and the following

one is preaspirated.
