Ilk. [j] was lost after initial [s]; [sj-] > [s-]
In the Ilkorin phonetic developments described in the Comparative Tables, an initial labialized [s] lost its labialization (PE19/21). In The Etymologies, none of the roots beginning with SY- have Ilkorin derivatives, so there are no attested examples of this change.
