Hi everybody,

    I wonder what happened to the Old Germanic Languages long o. It
became /u/ in their modern versions. I'd like to understand this process.
Is there any Germanic language or dialect which keeps the ancient sound?

   Thanks for your attention.

  Ívison.

Hi, Ívison!

Could you give us a few examples so we know exactly what you are talking
about?

Regards,
Reinhard/Ron
