Language follows patterns for all sorts of reasons. Some of it has to do with priors based on other words, or beliefs about pronunciation and so forth based on other information, or in many cases, the physiology of the throat, mouth, and tongue. People will do whatever they want and it doesn't matter what the originator of a word wanted or intended. I don't say this out of disrespect; language is a sort of chaotic dynamic group-level system, and what happens initially is only one small input.
