The theory that there was a spontaneous development of an obscure vowel in final position on certain occasions in Old Italian has gained general currency and has been carried on in the works of the main authorities. D'Ovidio and Meyer-Lübke speak of a ‘Murmelvokal’ and consider it to have been an obscure vowel of [ ]-quality; Grandgent refers to it as a ‘glide-vowel’ without further definition of its phonetic timbre
