Though /eɛ̯/ and /ɛɨ̯/ don't occur in any dialect, some older, primarily Pokht-derived placenames still orthographically retain these diphthongs, e.g. the city of ''Kohfëef''.{{efn|Old Izhkut pronunciation: [[IPA for Izhkut|[ˈko̞xfɛe̯f]]]; Pokht: ''Kohfeif'' [[IPA for Izhkut|[ˈkɔʊ̯.feɪ̯f]]]}} However, these diphthongs are replaced with i-initial or i-final dipthongs, so ''Kohfëef'' is pronounced [[IPA for Izhkut|[ˈkoxfeɪ̯f]]] and ''Ubëes'' is pronounced [[IPA for Izhkut|[ˈubeɪ̯s]]]. /ɛ-/ diphthongs also do not occur and have merged with /e-/ diphthongs. | Though /eɛ̯/ and /ɛɨ̯/ don't occur in any dialect, some older, primarily Pokht-derived placenames still orthographically retain these diphthongs, e.g. the city of ''Kohfëef''.{{efn|Old Izhkut pronunciation: [[IPA for Izhkut|[ˈko̞xfɛe̯f]]]; Pokht: ''Kohfeif'' [[IPA for Izhkut|[ˈkɔʊ̯.feɪ̯f]]]}} However, these diphthongs are replaced with i-initial or i-final dipthongs, so ''Kohfëef'' is pronounced [[IPA for Izhkut|[ˈkoxfeɪ̯f]]] and ''Ubëes'' is pronounced [[IPA for Izhkut|[ˈubeɪ̯s]]]. /ɛ-/ diphthongs also do not occur and have merged with /e-/ diphthongs. | ||
