   • 1980, S. Noble & J.A. Fishman (trr.), M. Weinrich (auth.), P. Glasser (ed.), History of the Yiddish Language II (2008), ch. vii, pp. 467f.:

     The series with the long a as a point of departure…today has the diaphoneme /o?u/, and to be exhaustive the diaphoneme should be rendered /o?u?au?oi/, for in western Yiddish there are also the articulations /šlaufn/ and /šloifn/ (sleep). From the point of departure of long e (Early Vowel E?) Yiddish arrived at the diaphoneme /ei?ai/, for example in veynik (little) (cf. MHG wênic). In groys (big; Early Vowel O?) (cf. MHG gro?), Yiddish has the diaphoneme /ei?oi/; with the variant of Samogitia–Latvia (7.35), the symbolization will become still more complicated: /ei?øu?oi?ou/.
