Yes, it does. Orthographically, there is no distinction

Thats because I havent quite figured out that alternation. Can you help give me ideas how it came about in the other Romance langs?

Well, i was trying to come up with a solution that wasnt like the other romance langs. Christophe suggested i could turn /E/ and /O/ to /e:/ and /o:/. So, would they instead really be the diphthongs you suggested? (i notice when i attempt to pronounce /e:/ it starts to come out as /ej/.
