Dec 22, 2018 at 14:14	comment	added	Eau qui dort		Duos to deux would have been something like /'du.o:s/ > /'do.os/ > /'do:.os/ > /'doʊ̯.os/ > /deʊ̯s/ > /døs/ > /dø/ while duas should have been /'du.a:s/ > /'do.as/ > /'do:.as/ > /'doʊ̯.əs/ > /'deʊ̯.əs/ > /'dø.əs/ > /dø:/ (> /dø/), as you surmise. The issue here is that all the other /ø:/ rhymes are either later innovation (bleue, which was an innovation, the old french form didn't inflect for gender), or the result of a VCa sequence like leuca (lieue) or cauda (queue) so it's possible that /oa/ might have had a different outcome from /oda/
