===Diphthongs simplify before laryngeals===
====Before x or φ====
Let X be a one of ''x'' and ''φ''. Then:
*aiX > eX
*auX > oX
*eiX > iX
*euX > oX
*oiX > eX
*ouX > uX
*a:iX > a:X
*a:uX > a:X

*x-, ħ-, φ- > e-, a-, o-
 
In the following, When the vowel before the permutation is long, the reflex is overlong.

Let ''V'' be the set of vowel qualities {a, ä, å, e, i, o, u}, and let ''q : V → V'' denote the involutive permutation (ä å)(e o)(i u). Then for a given ''v'' ''V'', the reflex of ''v''φ''v'' equals ''q''(''v′'')φ''q''(''v′'') = ''q''(''v′xv′''), where ''v′'' denotes ''q''(''v''):
*aφa eφa iφa oφa uφa > a: ä: e: å: o:
*aφe eφe iφe oφe uφe > ä: e: i: o: o:
*aφi eφi iφi oφi uφi > e: i: i: o: u:

*a::i a::u e::i i::u e::u o::i o::u u::i > a:: a:: e:: i:: e:: o:: o:: u::
 
The resulting vowel system is:
