That's pretty universally the case in West Swedish local standard.

But most always with etymology, at least in dialect per
Henrik's sense (b)! Yay!

FYI my (a) dialect has 12 vowel phonemes against the 9
of the "standard", but mostly coinciding with the
phonetic vowel qualities of the standard.  My (b) dialect
also has 12 vowel phonemes, but has [&] rather than [E],
and the lexical incidence is different.
