Questions

Are the declensions for <bog"> and <carstvie> correct? If so, why does are the accusative and instrumental plural <bwgi> instead of <bogi>?

Why do the nominative, accusative, and instrumental plural forms of <car'> have a varia accent instead of a kamora accent, even though they are identical to the prepositional singular form?

Are there consonants other than <zhivete> that use the "mixed" declension?

Does the "mixed" declension occur because a stem ending in a front (e.g. palato-alveolar) consonant (such as <zhivete>) causes the following vowel to be fronted? (e.g. --> )
