I don't recognize *hnny or *nnyc as four-consonant strings because the wye functions as a vowel as it generally tends to do within longer strings of consonants. My arbitrary rule.

Because it's actually a five-consonant string, *hnnyc, and the -y- is just nuddling harmlessly in there like a dormouse sleeping in a haystack, we're cutting it some slack. My arbitrary rule.

Haitches shouldn't count 'less you actually say them. Four graphemes is not nearly so impressive as four phonemes. See also გვფრცქვნი - having eight rather than nine, incidentally.
