Since Boiotian Greek appears to be the first Greek dialect to monophtongize its diphthongs, th the change seems perfectly plausible. << Cool! Plausibility is good (though not absolutely compulsory). /ai/ > /9/ looks like the leading option, so for instance "one" in Capraian would be _œns_ (that's an oe-lig, for readers in digestland, including me). This will substantially increase the number of "œ"s in Capraian. The question is, what does my collaborator think of this? Are you there, Tomásu?
