Spoiler alert: I intend to start blogging about language history. Not only or or Medieval and , but also older and digressions into modern dialects, and Fenno-Swedish. Hang on and boost if you think your followers are interested.

”för blöutär” ’too moist’:
The dialect preserves two of the three primary diphthongs:

/ai/ as [ei]
and
/au/ as [öu]

The latter diphthong is just about the same as in central/back ǫu <au> [ɞʊ], which is no longer pronounced like that in Norwegian [æü] <au> or Icelandic [øü] <au>.
