 ====Glide Retention====
-Based on the later development of Verschärfung in words like ''rōgna'' ‘to row’ or ''sǣǧin'' ‘to sow’, it is likely that the long vowel lowering that Gothic underwent did not happen in the same way in the development of Griutungi, and that the latter must have retained a glide between stressed and unstressed vowels: e.g. Gothic ''rauan'', ''saian'' (/rɔ̄an/, /sɛ̄an/), but Griutungi ''rǭwan'', ''sǣjan'' (/rɔ̄wan/, /sɛ̄jan/).

+====/w/ vs. /u/====
+In the orthography of Gothic, 〈w〉 is used in word-final or pre-consonantal environments where it would be expected to have a vocalic value. The same applies to the other labiovelars 〈q〉 and 〈ƕ〉. In Griutungi, this is reconstructed as /u/: e.g. Gothic ''farw'' ‘color’, ''saƕt'' ‘thou sawest’, ''saggqs'' ‘sinking’; Griutungi: ''faru'', ''sahut'', ''sankus''.
