- when the German cognate has two vowel letters: Boom or Bom (German Baum);
- when the German cognate has a consonant lost or not present in Central Franconian: Zoote or Zote (German Sorten);

- In the Dutch-based spelling, long o is always doubled in closed syllables, always written simple in open syllables.
