In other Yeldhic branches, long vowels were either shortened(as in the Paleoyeldhic languages), dipthonged(as in [[Etzeá]]) or omitted entirely(as in the Ulmic languages, in particular [[Ormå]]). Some examples are: | |||
* PY ''*mēce'' "watershed" | |||
** Paleoyeldhic ''*meksi'' | |||
*** Moshurian [[Contionary:mesk|''mesk'']] | |||
** Etzeá ''meîye'' | |||
** Proto-Ulmic ''*mVcne'' | |||
*** Ormå ''nncę'' | |||
