Fascinating, Lloyd! The first vowel of each dipthong is an ah, each coming from progressively further back in the mouth as you go down the list. But I think in the case of *shun,* it has turned into what I would not call an *ah.* Isn't that the sound depicted by the upside down V which is a variety of *ooo* or *u* and not an ah at all?
