 == Realizations of the Third I ==
-The standard pronunciation of the Third I is [e̞], however, it can also be realized as [ɛi̯], [ei̯], and at the end of words [aɪ̯]. These diphthongs are typically seen as having arisen from [e̞].
+The pronunciation of the third I depends on its location within the word, and the preceding consonant or consonant cluster. It is often realized as [e] at the end of words when ''not'' preceded by ''ts''. Often, the third I is silent in words that end in ''tsí''. If ''tsí'' does not occur at the end of the word, the third I is often realized as a schwa, with a few exceptions.
-If the Third I does not occur at the end of the word, it may also be realized as a schwa ([ə]).
