It has been registered that word-final [[w:Help:IPA|/i, u/]] are raised and end in a voiceless vowel: [[w:Help:IPA|[ii̥, uu̥]]]. The voiceless vowels may sound almost like [[w:Voiceless palatal fricative|[ç]]] and [[w:Voiceless velar fricative|[x]]] retrospectively, mainly around [[w:Lugo, Emilia-Romagna|Lugo]]. In the same region, it is common to have interconsonantal laxed variants [[w:Help:IPA|[i̽, u̽]]] and these laxed forms often have a schwa-like off-glide [[w:Help:IPA|[i̽ə̯, u̽ə̯]]]. The status of [[IPA for Luthic|[ɛ]]] and [[IPA for Luthic|[ɔ]]] is up to debate, and it is often believed that the long vowel phonemes that were present in Gothic resulted in schwa-glides [[w:Help:IPA|[ɛə̯, ɔə̯]]], or further fortified to a quasi-diphthong [[w:Help:IPA|[ɛæ̯, ɔɒ̯]]] (henceforth only written ⟨[ɛ, ɔ]⟩ due to its questionable nature and for simplicity).
