Phonemic rounded front vowels /y yː ø øː/ are only found as the result of language contact among Chlouvānem-speaking communities in Kŭyŭgwažtov, Soenjŏ-tave, and other countries of the former Kaiṣamā. They are mostly limited to loans from the local languages, and often contrast with unrounded variants wherever those same words have been borrowed into Chlouvānem as spoken in the Inquisition. | Phonemic rounded front vowels {{IPA|/y yː ø øː/}} are only found as the result of language contact among Chlouvānem-speaking communities in Kŭyŭgwažtov, Soenjŏ-tave, and other countries of the former Kaiṣamā.

Rounded front vowels were present in the unattested Pre-Chlouvānem and later unrounded before recorded history, but a later change resulted into some dialects of pre-Classical Chlouvānem (including Lūlunīkami, but not the one that became the modern standard) having phonemic /y yː ø øː/ and possibly /œʏ̯/ as the result of Proto-Lahob *ɨ *ɨː *aɨ̯ *aːɨ̯. These dialects therefore had a regular ''ü-ablaut'' sequence '''ü'''/'''ǖ''' - '''ö'''/'''ȫ''' - ''*öu''~''*au''~''*ȫ'' in place of the Standard Chlouvānem roots with ''u>i-ablaut'' '''u'''/'''ū''' - '''i'''/'''ī''' - '''au'''. This is easily seen in the stems for the PLB root *pʰɨʕəd-, ''ħuld-'' "to play" in Standard Chlouvānem: | Rounded front vowels were present in the unattested Pre-Chlouvānem and later unrounded before recorded history, but a later change resulted into some dialects of pre-Classical Chlouvānem (including Lūlunīkami, but not the one that became the modern standard) having phonemic /y yː ø øː/ and possibly /œʏ̯/ as the result of Proto-Lahob *ɨ *ɨː *aɨ̯ *aːɨ̯.
