In principle, there are three kinds of alternations. The first is the case of the potential and actual alternation of high vowels, where the two cases, the alternation of B and the alternation of F vowels are regulated by F/B harmony.

In this tipe, the Fness/Bness of the high vowel is regulated by F/B harmony, while /u̯ɑ/ occurs after /h/,((Since /u̯ɑ/ occurs almost exclusively after /h/ (and the rare exclusions seem to be mistakes), there is a good chance that /u̯ɑ/ is not a phoneme but an allomorph of /ɑ/ (Fejes 2021).

However, in bisyllabic stems with two high vowels, the two vowels tend two share the same F/B value, especially but not exclusively when they also share the same rounding value (Fejes 2019: 110–114).
