Vowels

What happened to the diphthongs ay and aw? I expect them to have turned into ē and ō respectively, but these sounds do not appear in the Phonology section of this article. So has this dialect retained the diphthongs, like traditional Libanese? Or have they merged with ī and ū? Neither sounds plausible, but the article isn't telling us.
