* R-vocalization in coda: /ɾ/ | * R-vocalization in coda: /ɾ/ is elided with compensatory lengthening of the preceding vowel. Stressed vowels become long (e.g., ''er'' [ɛː], ''ar'' [aː]); high vowels ''ir'' and ''ur'' additionally are lowered and merged with ''œr'' [œ̈ː]. Unstressed /Vɾ/ are merged into half-long [əˑ] (usually) or short [ə] (word-finally), cf. ''[[Contionary:partit#Carnian|partit]]'' [pəˑtɪ̂t] 'to depart', ''[[Contionary:conner#Carnian|conner]]'' [kɒ̂nːə] 'love'. In the northern Lubiana variety of Fyn, unstressed /Vɾ/ tends to be uvularized [əʶ]. Lengthening occurs across all syllable structures, in contrast to the standard Carnian, which allows long vowels in stressed open syllables only. | ||
