[y] and [ø] are allophones of /u/ and /o/, respectively, occurring in complementary distribution with [u] and [o].

There are five diphthongs: [æj], [æw], [iw], [oj], and [øj]. They are best analyzed phonemically as /Vj/ rather than /Vɪ̯/.

Nominal Morphology

The underlying morphophoneme ъ is realized differently according to different stem endings:

  • [y] + -ъ => -i
  • [w] + -ъ => -u
  • [l] + -ъ => -e
  • [r] + -ъ => -e
  • C => -aC
  • otherwise -ъ ==> -
