#ā# is normally _o_, as bon, loc, more, sor, woniende; but _a_ is often preserved as þa 2/18, lac 4/25, mare E 39, wa F 4. _eo_ is written for _o_ in þeo 2/2, greoning, greoneþ; and _oa_ in woaning 2/15, woaneþ 2/25, is an attempt to express graphically the [a^o] sound. Þe [ȝet] E 3, 36 occurs twice beside þa, þo. OE. #wāwa# gives weowe 2/7. #ǣ{1}# (WG. ai + i) is mostly _æ_, idæled, tæcheþ, ilærede, and before two consonants, ilæsteþ, æffre; but _e_ in bideled C 32, ilered G 29, ilesteþ, efre D 41, þen (= OE. #þǣm#) 3/36.

(OE. #wœ̄pan#). #ū# is regularly _u_, hus, wiþuten, ut, &c. #ȳ# is _u_, ifuled, luþerliche, &c. #ea#, breaking of #a# before #r# + consonant is _ea_, earfeþsiþ, eart, scearp, _æ_ in ært 4/16, _e_ in ert D 15, scerpe F 29, imerked G 39; no examples of _a_.

The _i_-umlaut is seen in wældeþ, 4/41. #eo#, breaking of #e# before #r# + consonant, is _eo_, heorte D 49 and _o_ herborwen C 23: after #w# also _eo_, andweorke F 42, OE. #handgeweorc#, and _e_, werke D 30: the group #weor#, in LWS #wur#, has _u_, iwurþe F 45, wurþe G 25, unwerþ 4/37, _o_, beworpen D 12; before lengthening groups _eo_, yeorne, eorþe C 5. The _i_-umlaut of #eo#, which after #w# had already become #y# in OE. is here _u_, wurþest, deorwurþe, wurst D 30, wurþliche G 36. #eo# before #l# + consonant gives _u_ in sulfen C 27, suluen F 28 (already #sylf# in LWS). #eo#, _u_-umlaut of #e#, is _eo_ in heouene; _å_-umlaut of #e# is _eo_ in freome, feole, weolen (Bülbring, § 234); _u_- and _å_-umlaut of #i# is _eo_, seouene, seoþþen. libbe 2/13 is OE. #libban#. #ea#, palatal diphthong, is _ea_, _eæ_ in isceaft F 35, isceæftan; _a_ in schal, scal. #ie# after #g# is _e_, ȝerde, biȝete C 13 (Bülbring, § 151 _n._), _i_ in ȝiuen 4/21. #eo# < WG. #o# after _sc_ is _o_ in scorteþ, scoldest C 28, but _eo_ in sceoldest G 42. #eo# < #u# is _u_, onscunedest, sculen C 38.
