are usually reconstructed in the phonemic inventory of Proto-Slavic in the literature, were likely to be just phonologically predictable allophones of */k/, and */g/, and have remained such until conditions were met after the 600 CE for their appearance behind back vowels as well. Similarly, *s which resulted by the application of RUKI law was an allophone of */s/ after *r, *u, *k, *i, but when *s emerged from Proto-Slavic *sj, the opposition between *s and *s became phonological, i.e. */s/ became phonemicized.
