first please note I will post a longer article on Balkanika about the
diphtongation of "e" and "o" in Romania. For now, please just remember
that the diphtongation btw the yotacisation stoped much eralier when the
next syllable was "e". As you said before, it seems the time it stoped
has been as the Slavs came. In the words where the next unstressed vowel
is/was "ã", it seems the the rule is stil working today, I have to
search a bit more for some examples.
I have my toughts that "e" was perceived once as "ã" or it was a certain
"e" who was perceived as "ã", I don't know exactly, I am just about to
compile some data here and that is plenty of material to verify,
including Albanian for seeing if there is something interesting.
