| ===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
| |
| *e:iX > e:X
| |
| *e:uX > e:X
| |
| *o:uX > o:X
| |
| *o:iX > o:X
| |
| | |
| ====Before ħ====
| |
| *aiħ > aħ
| |
| *eiħ > eħ
| |
| *euħ > eħ
| |
| *oiħ > oħ
| |
| *ouħ > oħ
| |
| *a:iħ > a:ħ
| |
| *a:uħ > a:ħ
| |
| *e:iħ > e:ħ
| |
| *e:uħ > e:ħ
| |
| *o:uħ > o:ħ
| |
| *o:iħ > o:ħ
| |
| | |
| ===Laryngeal loss===
| |
| *x-, ħ-, φ- > e-, a-, o-
| |
| | |
| In the following, When the vowel before the permutation is long, the reflex is overlong.

| *axa exa ixa oxa uxa > a: ä: e: å: o:

| 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:
| |
| *aφo eφo iφo oφo uφo > å: o: u: o: u:
| |
| *aφu eφu iφu oφu uφu > o: o: u: u: u:
| |
| *aφC eφC iφC oφC uφC > å: e: i: o: u:
| |
| | |
| ===Overlong diphthongs===
| |
| *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:
| |
| *a e i o u
| |
| *a: e: i: o: u:
| |
| *a:: e:: i:: o:: u::
| |
| *ai au ei eu oi ou
| |
| *a:i a:u e:i i:u e:u o:i o:u u:i
| |
| | |
| ===Satemization===
| |
| *kʷ > ts > t
| |
| *k > tʃ > s
| |
| *z > r
| |
| *ł > l
| |
| *ð > funny lateral-ish sound > l
