During the pronunciation of /u:/ the tongue may move from a more advanced and open position to a closer and more retracted position, as a result of which the vowel is diphthongized. At the beginning of /u:/ the lips are fairly rounded. Towards the end the lips are still more rounded. The opening between the jaws is narrower than for the phoneme /u/ [1, 53].
