Little is known about the laryngeals '''Q, H, X'''. Some theories about their realization are:
Little is known about the laryngeals '''Q, H, X'''. Some conjectured realizations are:
*'''Q''' is commonly thought to be /ʔ/ or /q/
*'''Q''' = /ʔ/, /ʡ/, or /q/
*'''H''' is thought to be /h/, /ħ/ or /χ/
*'''H''' = /h/, /ħ/, or /χ/
*'''X''' is thought to be /x/ or /ç/
*'''X''' = /x/ or /ç/
The laryngeals may have developed allophones in different environments, leading to conditioned reflexes in daughter lnaguages.
