Phonemicity
As far as I can tell, the glide or  in this sequence is not phonemic. It's not possible to remove the glide in Dutch, there is no possible distinction between and. Given that the plural ending is, the plural of must be , there is no such thing as a  ending. So I think the glide should be removed. —Rua (mew) 15:24, 5 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the message. I think you are right about that, I will remove it. Normally Dutch doesn't allow clusters of a vowel + schwa, a semivowel is inserted in between as a hiatus filler in all other cases. It's odd that it's an exception for the eː. --DerRudymeister (talk) 08:37, 6 February 2020 (UTC)
 * I don't think this is an exception. It's more that the insertion of the glide is automatic, an allophonic variation rather than a phonemic distinction. It seems to be allophonic in the other cases of hiatus too. —Rua (mew) 09:04, 6 February 2020 (UTC)
