Sangqar:
>I base the use of diphthongs on TKD 1.2 (p. 16-17 in the English edition)..
>[...] he says that {ow} and {uw} are inpossible combinations, the
>{w}getting swallowed up in the preceding vowel (note: not MO's wording).
Quvar:
>Yes, following a vowel, {w} is pronounced like {u} {'Iw, qaw, qew}
>[Iu, kau, qeu], but after {o} and {u} this makes no sense of course,
>because """they would be indistinguishable from words ending in {o} and
>{u,} respectively.""" [TKD]
