@Lingo Bingo Dingo, InfoSlave, what exactly is the problem with the pronunciation here? —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 23:45, 11 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

@Metaknowledge <eo> is normally described as a diphthong. [1] [2] [3] Also WP:West Frisian phonology mentions that /øː/ is mostly restricted to borrowings from Dutch. ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk) 12:52, 12 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
Well, those spell it out pretty clearly, so I've changed it. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 15:27, 12 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
Fine with me, though note the WFT describes it as bisyllabic (and another source uses /ʌɛ/ instead of /øə/ but that's probably just dialectal). ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk) 14:41, 15 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
I'm a bit confused, then, because I thought it was a diphthong, but I've changed it to match the WFT transcription. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 16:23, 15 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
@Metaknowledge It is described as a diphthong by nearly all sources, and checking a few other words it looks like the digital WFT has a very confusing love for syllable breaks where others don't use it. I've removed it for now. ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk) 11:13, 16 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
