 | | He transcribes the long-mid vowels in a way close to the phonetic surface (for stressed vowels), namely as /ie, uo/ (rather than /ee, oo/, or /e:, o:/ for example, as per Wells), which are high vowels with downward glides (that is, inglides). |
 | | The long vowels, both mid and high, are phonetically raised and shifted to the periphery relative to the corresponding short vowels. |
 | | The back vowels may be arranged in a scale from high to low according to the mean F2 for stressed tokens of the vowel, thus: /uu, uo, ou, o, aa/. |
