Dissimilar vowels merge in these ways. '''ṛ''' and '''ṝ''' become semivowels wherever needed, and '''i''' and '''u''' become '''y''' and '''v''' before other vowels; '''ī''' and '''ū''' turn to ''iy'' and ''uv'' respectively.<br/>Other changes are:

* '''e''' and '''o''' always continue PLB *aj and *aw regardless of etymology, so when followed by vowels the results are ''ayV'' and ''avV'' respectively. Similarly, with '''ai''' and '''au''' the results are ''āyV'' and ''āvV'';
* '''e''' and '''o''' always continue PLB *aj and *aw regardless of etymology, so when followed by vowels the results are ''ayV'' and ''avV'' respectively. Similarly, with '''ai''' and '''au''' the results are ''āyV'' and ''āvV'';
* '''ŏ''' always behaves as if it were '''uy''' before a vowel, and after another vowel it triggers the same changes as '''u'''. '''aŏ''' becomes ''au''.
* '''æ''' and '''ea''' both become '''ev''' and '''oe''' becomes '''en''' when followed by another vowel;
* '''æ''' and '''ea''' both become '''ev''' and '''oe''' becomes '''en''' when followed by another vowel;
* All other ones simply turn their second element into the corresponding semivowel (e.g. '''ei''' → '''ey''', but '''ov''' → '''av''').
