What I find interesting is that it says the short-V is like in “put” (he says “put” correctly), and then uses some sort of french-O to enuntiate “tum” and “sum”, rendering them as “tom” and “som”. Didn’t the Romans say there is no difference in quality between long and short A, I and V? That “tom” is really weird. And he uses this closed-O everywhere there is a short-V.

I haven’t listened to these files, but you are probably experiencing the nasalized vowel indicated by a final M.

What an awful nasalization.
There is a way to nasalize the “u” that doesn’t make it seem like an “o”. I can do it.
