* Most non-intial short vowels in [[Aeranir#Proto-Iscaric|Proto-Iscairc]] were reduced to /i/ by the time of Old Aeranir. Many of these were then further reduced in Classical Aeranir (as discussed above), to the vowels represented by [[w:Diaeresis_(diacritic)|diaeresis]]. These merged in Late Aeranir to a [[w:Schwa|schwa]], but this schwa was deleted in many environments. | * Most non-intial short vowels in [[Aeranir#Proto-Iscaric|Proto-Iscairc]] were reduced to /i/ by the time of Old Aeranir.

* Old Aeranir diphthongs /ei̯/ and /ou̯̯/ may have been realised as hightened pure vowels [e~e̝] and [o~o̝]. Before other vowels, /ei̯/ becomes simple [e] in Classical Aeranir. Likewise, Classical /ɛ/ and /ɔ/ rise to [e] and [o] before another vowel. These were then simplified into glides [j] and [w] in Late Aeranir. | * Old Aeranir diphthongs /ei̯/ and /ou̯̯/ may have been realised as hightened pure vowels [e~e̝] and [o~o̝].

* There are two realisations of high short vowels /ɪ/ and /ʊ/ before another vowel, depending on whether the proceeding syllable it light or heavy. Following a light syllable, the become glides [j] and [w]. Follwing a heavy syllable, an [[w:Ephethesis#Anaptyxis|anaptyctic]] vowel is inserted, becoming [ɨj] and [ʉw]. | * There are two realisations of high short vowels /ɪ/ and /ʊ/ before another vowel, depending on whether the proceeding syllable it light or heavy.
