 ====Diphthongs====
-Graphemes ''y'' and ''w'' in coda are used to form diphthongs ''ay'' /äɪ̯/, ''ey'' /ei̯/ and ''aw'' /ɑʊ̯/ which occur both word-finally and before consonants. Between vowels, they form long semi-vowels /j:/ and /w:/.
+Graphemes ''y'' and ''v'' in coda are used to form diphthongs ''ay'' /äɪ̯/, ''ey'' /ei̯/, ''av'' /ɑʊ̯/ and ''ev'' /øy̯/ which occur in both open and closed syllables (without or with coda). Normally between vowels, ''y'' forms a long semi-vowel /j:/ and ''v'' is /w~ɥ/ so the diphthong nature has to be indicated by ''h'' after ''y'' or ''v': ''aya'' /ɑj:ä/ vs. ''ayha'' /ɑʊ̯hɑ/.
