Yes, реки was intentional. You can see the word in the ballad at the bottom of the page.
To transcribe using another alphabet is done often when teaching and it is I guess not that interesting to the author. But trying to answer the question of what an honest effort to adopt Cyrilic sometime in the past would look like is pretty fun.
- acqq 6y agoReading the explanation, the idea in реки is that the information about the "softening" is contained in the е that follows. So it's replaces szcz-like rules with other rules, which admittedly follow the logic of some existing rules in some languages, but which makes the result still less directly "phonological" than some other approaches could be. At least the author admits it's "primarily a thought experiment". Interesting anyway.
