The transitional dialects (''ehomėla irekėnėla'') are spoken in the west of the Keina Republic. This is not a genetic grouping and thus various dialects show different features closer to either Tarnan or Keian. None of these dialects have a specifically Keian [s̠] sound, but they also lack rounding of *ā typical to Tarnan (initial ''*ā>uo'' in Uve, but initial ''*ō>eu'', which means they did not merge like in Tarnan), with some also lacking rounding of the short *a. Dialects close to Keian lenite /f/ to [v] between vowels: ''lavat'' "house" (T. ''lauta''), but do not lenite /k/ or /t/ even word-finally. | The transitional dialects (''ehomėla irekėnėla'') are spoken in the west of the Keina Republic.
