====Emergence of /ɨː/====
The long /iː/ (from Gothic ''ei'' and ''ē'') became ''y'' /ɨː/ when preceded by a labial or labialised consonant (/p, b, m, f, w, kʷ, gʷ) and not followed by a front vowel in the next syllable. Labialsed velars were subsequently delabialised:
*Got. ''[[wikt:𐌱𐌴𐌹𐍃𐍄#Gothic|beist]]'' > ''byst''
*Got. ''[[wikt:𐌼𐌴𐍃#Gothic|mēs]]'' > ''meis'' > ''mysz''
*Got. ''[[wikt:𐍅𐌴𐌹𐌽#Gothic|wein]]'' > ''wyn''
*Got. ''[[wikt:𐌵𐌴𐌽𐍃#Gothic|qēns]]'' > ''qeins'' > ''qyna'' > ''kyna''

*Got. ''[[wikt:𐍃𐍅𐌰𐍂𐍄𐍃#Gothic|swarts]]'' > ''szwart''
*Got. ''[[wikt:𐍃𐍅𐌰𐍂𐍄𐍃#Gothic|swarts]]'' > ''szwart''
*P-Gmc. ''[[wikt:Reconstruction:Proto-Germanic/mūs|*mūs]]'' > ''musz''
*P-Gmc. ''[[wikt:Reconstruction:Proto-Germanic/mūs|*mūs]]'' > ''musz''
*P-W-Gmc. ''[[wikt:kirsijā#Proto-West_Germanic|kirsijā]]'' > ''*kaírsja'' > ''kersz''
*P-W-Gmc. ''[[wikt:kirsijā#Proto-West_Germanic|*kirsijā]]'' > ''*kaírsja'' > ''kersz''
This sound change took place before the backing of /iː/ to /ɨː/, as indicated by the fact that ''mēs'' became ''mysz''

*At some point ''[[wikt:𐌵𐌴𐌽𐍃#Gothic|qēns]]'' and ''[[wikt:𐌵𐌹𐌽𐍉#Gothic|qinō]]'' became merged into one word
