+====Umlaut and diphtongs by umlaut====
+In the course from Old Ikronurum to Middle Ikronurum the OIK long vowels suffered a process of diphtongization which, leaving MIK without a length contrast, but granted the advent of a set of diphthongs in its place. Since there is a certain, albeit small, change in the quality of the vowels (lowered vowels are heightened -normalized- as part of the diphtong) these are called "diphtongs by umlaut".
