In retrospect it is often unclear whether there was a complicated sound or just a cluster of consonants which fused: see the peculiar qp/qv clusters

it is also possible that to a completely unrelated words were fused by neighboring countries resulting in orthographic peculiarities and ambiguous signs.

greek semi < δεμη⋍dsemi > demi

of these foreign sounds result in sound changes and ultimately the disappearance and appreciation into vowels
