* The diphthongs '''ai, ei, au, ou''', and their breathy-voiced versions mute the second element in a semivowel; in '''ai''' and '''au''' the vowel is naturally lengthened to '''ā''' - e.g. ''gṇyauke'' "to give birth", pres. exterior ''gṇyāvu, gṇyāvi, gṇyāvė''...; past exterior ''gṇyāvau, gṇyāvei, gṇyauk''...

* The short vowels '''i, u, ṛ''' and long '''ṝ''' change into their corresponding semivowels if it forms an accepted cluster - e.g. ''vike'' "to rest" (ablauting stem ''ve-'' in the present), past exterior ''vyau, vyei, vik''...

'''æ''' and '''ea''' become '''ev''' and '''oe''' becomes '''en''' - e.g. ''gæke'' "to stretch", pres. exterior ''gevu, gevi, gevė''...; past exterior ''gevau, gevei, gæk''...

* '''æ''' and '''ea''' become '''ev''' and '''oe''' becomes '''en''' - e.g. ''gæke'' "to stretch", pres. exterior ''gevu, gevi, gevė''...; past exterior ''gevau, gevei, gæk''...

* Other vowels add different epenthetic consonants depending on their quality:

'''a''', '''e''' (and long versions), and '''å'''always add '''n''', e.g. ''liėke'' "to clap", pres. exterior ''liėnu, liėni, liėnė''...; past exterior ''liėnau, liėnei, liėk''.

* All other oral vowels add '''y''' (note that '''o''' contracts with '''e''' or '''ė''' to '''oe'''), e.g. ''khlūke'' "to search, look for" (abl. stem ''khlo-''), pres. exterior ''khloyu, khloyi, khloe''...; past exterior ''khlūyau, khlūyei, khlūk''...
