Personally, I think MDu. <u:> (or ME. <u:>) was not
diphthongized here because the coots themselves did not
shift their vowel (they still go "coot, coot, coot").

Near the Artic circle,
they go c^oavz^z^u c^oavz^z^u c^oavz^z^u
Do you think it's because the weather is colder
than in the Netherlands ?
