From Miyake (2003):

POJ to OJ contractions:
 * * ui, *əi > *ɨ
 * * ai > *əj
 * * ia, *iə > *e
 * * ua, *uə > *o

OJ vowels:
 * /a/: *[a]
 * /i1/ = /yi/: *[i]
 * /i2/ = /iy/: *[ɨ]
 * /u/: *[u]
 * /e1/ = /ye/: *[e]
 * /e2/ = /ey/: *[əj]
 * /o1/ = /wo/ *[o]
 * /o2/ = / o /: *[ə]

OJ to LOJ mergers:
 * * i, *ɨ > i
 * * e, *əj > [je]
 * * o, *ə > [wo]
