However, if vowel harmony is triggered and the root contains a close vowel, none of the open vowels to the left of the close vowel will be subject to change.
42.
Other close vowels can be indicated with diacritics of relative articulation applied to letters for neighboring vowels, such as } } or } } for a close near-front unrounded vowel.
43.
Unlike the mid vowel raising this processes is not iterative and is only caused directly by the close vowels ( it cannot be caused by any hidden vowels or by other raised vowels ).
44.
In Southern English, shifting of to could have caused diphthongisation of original, but because Northern English had no back close-mid vowel to shift, the back close vowel did not diphthongise.
45.
Open vowels have high F1 frequencies, while close vowels have low F1 frequencies, as can be seen in the accompanying spectrogram : The and have similar low first formants, whereas has a higher formant.
46.
All vowels except the near-close vowels / j / and / ? / can appear long, nasalized or both; the vowels / j / and / ? / are being lost for young speakers.
47.
A mid-open vowel will be realized in a closed syllable ( one ending in a consonant ), and a mid-close vowel will be realized in an open syllable ( one ending in a vowel ).
48.
Among the close vowels, what in Sanskrit are thought to have been primarily distinctions of vowel length ( that is and ), have become in Hindustani distinctions of quality, or length accompanied by quality ( that is, and ).
49.
Listed as the same rime but in a different tone ( i . e . light departing } ��S ) is 0W, which is instead read as [ te ], an open rime with the half-close vowel [ e ].
50.
Near-close vowels are also sometimes described as "'lax "'variants of the fully close vowels, though, depending on the language, they may not necessarily be " variants " of close vowels at all.
