basic outline for vowel changes:
PM: i u ə a ī ū ə­̄ ā ay aw əy əw iw uy
after laryngeals vocalize or disappear the inventory becomes:
i u ə o a ī ū ē ō ā ay aw ey ew oy ow iu uy
*> ji u ə o a jī ū jē ō jā ē ō jē jō ȫ ū ī jū ī
*> jə ə jə o a ji u je o ja e o je jo ə u ju i (in stressed syllables)
Laryngeal reflexes:
*ah, eh, ih, uh > ay, ey, ii, uy
*axv, əxv, ixv, uxv > aa, aa, ee, oo
*axw, əxw, ixw, uxw >  aw, ow, iw, uu
*h, xv, xw vocalize between vowels to e, a, o
*x > h
