Rounded front vowels were present in the unattested Pre-Chlouvānem and later unrounded before recorded history, but a later change resulted into some dialects of pre-Classical Chlouvānem (including Lūlunīkami, but not the one that became the modern standard) having phonemic /y yː ø øː/ and possibly /œʏ̯/ as the result of Proto-Lahob *ɨ *ɨː *aɨ̯ *aːɨ̯. These dialects therefore had a regular ''ü-ablaut'' sequence '''ü'''/'''ǖ''' - '''ö'''/'''ȫ''' - ''*öu''~''*au''~''*ȫ'' in place of the Standard Chlouvānem roots with ''u>i-ablaut'' '''u'''/'''ū''' - '''i'''/'''ī''' - '''au'''. This is easily seen in the stems for the PLB root *pʰɨʕəd-, ''ħuld-'' "to play" in Standard Chlouvānem: | |||
: Standard Chl.: ''ħuld-'' (infinitive/past - base grade), ''ħild-'' (present - middle grade), ''ħauld·ild-'' (causative - strong grade) | |||
: Pre-Classical Lūl.: ''füld-'', ''föld-'', *föuld·ild- | |||
