has /katÉË/ "arch" where an older version has /kaËtÉ/. Maybe the early

two dialects, the first dialect lengthened the /É/ and lost the /h/,
while the second dialect attract
rds borrowed from Jarda, and the
central vowels are uncommon after /w/. It occurs to me that the original
back vowels /o/ /u/ in Early Modern Tirelat may have split, remaining
/o/ and /u/ after labial consonants, and changing to /ë/ and /y/ in
other environments. Then /w/ vanished before /o/ a
d as "uh") might come from a diphthong such as /ou/, which
would account for juht and juhża, and /ju/ might have originally been

Looking at the vowels, Czirehlat must have separated from the main

More interesting is the case of ë~y, which frequently correspond with
