Aeranir: Difference between revisions

* Old Aeranir diphthongs /ei̯/ and /ou̯̯/ may have been realised as hightened pure vowels [eː~e̝ː] and [oː~o̝ː].  Before other vowels, /ei̯/ becomes simple [e] in Classical Aeranir.  Likewise, Classical /ɛ/ and /ɔ/ rise to [e] and [o] before another vowel.  These were then simplified into glides [j] and [w] in Late Aeranir.

* There are two realisations of high short vowels /ɪ/ and /ʊ/ before another vowel, depending on whether the proceeding syllable it light or heavy.  Following a light syllable, the become glides [j] and [w].  Follwing a heavy syllable, an [[w:Ephethesis#Anaptyxis|anaptyctic]] vowel is inserted, becoming [ɨj] and [ʉw].  These vowels are not represented in the orthography.
