So it comes as no surprise that 'words' like <chchy> or <shshy> are rare.
I find this hard to understand, given that ch and sh have such a strong affinity for being followed by e and ee, yet have such a strong phobia for being followed by sh and ch.
I'm therefore not sure I can accept this kind of shape-driven argument when ch and ee have such similar shapes.
