==Diachronics==
Hlou merged Proto-Gloobic ''ai au'' with ''ei ou'' into ''ei au'' /əɨ əʊ/. Even ''i u'' in some open syllables turned into ''ei au''.
Glottal stop finals (''-h'' in Schngellstein's spelling) come from Proto-Gloobic final stops.
''*ã'' > ''äu''; ''*ãʔ'' > ''oh''
''*ẽ'' > ''ä''; ''*ẽj'' > ''ei''; ''*ẽʔ'' > ''äh''
