Though ⟨ue⟩ is usually pronounced /uɪ̯/, it is sometimes pronounced /ʊ̯e/ in some words, such as ''Uesi'' "(Colonial) the Colonies" [[IPA for Izhkut|[ʊ̯esi]]].

===Vowel length===

Standard Izhkut pitch accent was replaced in Colonial Izhkut with a vowel length system; contour I replaced by a long vowel, contour II remaining unchanged. In the case of a diphthong, the second, unstressed vowel is deleted and only the initial vowel is lengthened, such as with ''ouggu'' "wail (n.)", pronounced [[IPA for Izhkut|[ôʊ̯gu]]] in Standard Izhkut but [[IPA for Izhkut|[ɔːgu]]] in General Colonial; however both pronunciations remain heterophonic with ''ougu'' "wheat"(<small>Standard Izhkut:</small> [[IPA for Izhkut|[oˈgu]]]; <small>Colonial:</small> [[IPA for Izhkut|[ɔˈgu]]]).
