Why does Ng ( Middle Chinese )sometimes turn into H and other times G in Hokkien
In words like 魚 ( Ngjo ) it became Hi/Hu/Hir but have readings that end with G as well like Gi/ Gu/ Gir.
There are other examples that I cant bring to mind right now but does anyone know the reason it develops into this? Doesn't seem very intuitive.
