#Can be found in South-East dialect as an archaic feature of older vowel harmony. However its vowel harmony is based on frontness and backness (like in modern Finnish, for examle), while the older one was based on vowel height. For example ''kemi'' [ˈke.mi] which means "blood" is komə [ˈko.mɤ] in this dialect. The word itself comes from *kɯmɨ. Or ''kikle'' [ˈkik̚.lə] ("speech") which is käkle [ˈkæx.le] in South-East and comes from *kekemən ("to make sounds", "to tweet"). | #Can be found in South-East dialect as an archaic feature of older vowel harmony.
