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/.
(this is starting to veer towards a more "natural" Con Romance Lang)
