	{{ref/note\|IU\|1}} If /i:/ and /u:/ ~~did exist~~ natively in Proto-Levantine, ~~no reconstructed root attests to it. However,~~ some ~~words borrowed from other languages present~~ /i:/, ~~even while having /i/~~ in ~~the same word~~. It's ~~likely~~ that ~~Proto-Levantine thus had native length distinction in /i/ and maybe in~~ /u:/~~, but that an earlier sound shift made them collapse~~		{{ref/note\|H\|1}} Long /i:/ and /u:/ have not been natively reconstructed in Proto-Levantine, but some loanwords do contain /i:/, so some scholars argue that it did have these phonemes natively and somehow lost them only in native words. It's also proposed that /u:/ could've existed

			Proto-Levantine was never written down, there's no special convention apart from using macrons to denote long vowels, so IPA is mostly always used
