Loss of final schwa, with degemination if this would result in a final geminate, and lengthening if the preceding syllable was open and stressed:

Diphthong and Long Vowel collapse: [oi̯ əi̯ ai̯ oː iː ɛ: au̯ əu̯ uː aː] merge to [ei̯ ei ei̯ ei ei ou̯ ou̯ ou̯ ou̯], with attempts at spelling reform, followed by a trend of hypercorrect spelling:

A bit over the top IMHO (unless you're responding to my last turn, which I agree was a bit much too). As for my next turn, I feel I've exhausted this passage, but don't have the energy to put together something new.

I was simply running on the logic that collapses are a thing that happen from time to time. Just seemed to be where the language was headed — the vowel system seemed wonky.

[x h] merge to [h] in most cases, but to [ç] before [i], and [f] before rounded vowels (also orthographic simplification):
