Notes : The original quality of the vowel has been preserved in Gondi_S (īn < *iv-n) and Gondi_Ch, which alone of all dialects has preserved some traces of -v- in its former position: iyel < *iv-l < *iv-nR. In most other dialects vowel quality has been modified, and some preserved the original -v- by means of a metathese.
