old orthography they wrote the word for 'all' as 'заигьы', in the new orthography they write it as 'зегьы'. We can't know for sure, since the only updated orthography is in Abkhaz, but that would explain the discrepancy of why in some places 'е' is used instead of 'aи', specially in nouns. The orthography changes the vowels and consonants only in some contexts, here are some I've noticed:
484:
he generalises it saying it's for simplification. I want to argue that the vowel 'ә' isn't as high as , and would be a better description for the sound in general. In the book "Грамматика абхазского языка: фонетика и морфология", they make it very clear that the ы in Abkhaz, and the ы in Russian are different sounds. The first indication that 'ы' isn't comes from this passage:

consonant+a" ... . is the allophone of /ə/ in sequences /jə/, /əj/, or in combinations of /ə/ with the palatalized consonants. Finally, appears as the realization of phonemic sequences wə, əw, and of combinations of labialized consonants with schwa." It's close enough but he doesn't mention and . Hewitt 1979 adds that /a/ can be realised as

article we can use vowel transcriptions from Hewitt 1979 to be consistent, noting that there are alternative transcriptions and pointing the reader to this article. There the goal is just to give the general idea of the correspondence between the letters and the sounds, while the details can be dealt
799:
Also there's a problem, I've spent some time analysing, reading and listening to Abkhaz, and not all realisations of /aj/, /ja/ are actually a long , same for and being a long . The new orthography, laid be Kaslandzia 2005, seems to be phonetic. That would explain a lot of stuff. For example in the

and a close vowel /ɨ ~ ə/. The page only cites one source, and there it's referred simply as a "close vowel". Chirikba refers to it as a high close vowel. Another paper by Bert Vaux, first mentions that "The phonemic status of ә is disputed" and "will be assumed here for ease of exposition", and then
784:
It's kinda wacky honestly, he's the only person who has made these claims, I don't think it should be the only one being described in the article. I think we should present the different analysis by all the linguists here, they don't really agree with each other at all, and lots of these are old. At
805:
With verb suffixes the vowel in the verb stem changes. As an example, with the stem -ца- meaning 'to go', if we add the dynamic suffix -уа- it becomes -цо-, then we can add the finite suffix -ит and the personal marker for the first person singular с(ы) we get сцоит 'I am going'. If we get a verb
718:
Unfortunately there is no source for it. Chirikba 2003 says that " is the phonetic realization of the sequences aw, wa and awa, as well as the allophone of /a/ in contact with the labialized consonants. is the allophone of /a/ in combinations /aj/ = , /ja/ = ..., or in combinations "palatalized
502:
During articulations of ы, the tip of the tongue touches the crowns of the lower incisors so that the anterior part of the tongue at the level of the canines rises somewhat above the level of the lower incisors. the cavity of the pharynx(?) is a resonator, tapering slightly in its upper part. The
708:
Abkhaz has only two distinctive vowels: an open vowel /a/ and a close vowel /ɨ ~ ə/. These basic vowels have a wide range of allophones in different consonantal environments, with allophones and respectively next to palatals, and next to labials, and and next to labiopalatals
315:
consonants may be capable of appearing either short or long. The consonants attested in Vaux and Pəsiypa's paper as having geminated forms are the following: . As you can see, there appears to be no phonological reason why all consonants shouldn't have a corresponding geminate.
785:
least Hewitt 2010, he doesn't seem to stand by his old findings, he doesn't mention the realisation for ы, he rather only analyses it as there, and instead of he uses instead, which is the analysis of some Russian linguists that I cited in the

I'm vision impaired and I still can't differentiate the dark green and blue from black! I'll add asterisk (*) and dagger (†) as per the description within the article itself, but keep the colours unchanged for those who use them.
488:гласный ы по сравнению с а является более закрытым, что зависит от более высокого положению языка. По сравнению с абхазским ы, русское ы по положению языка более задний и более закрытый гласный. 495:
The vowel ы is more closed than a, which depends on the higher position of the tongue. Compared to Abkhaz ы, the Russian ы is a more back and close vowel by the position of the tongue.
311:
Sadz, you mean (Bzyp does not have phonemic gemination). Vaux and Pəsiypa (1997) do not give a list of the consonants which have geminated forms in Sadz, leading me to think that
796:
Kinda, they cite a Russian source for it. Hewitt 2010 seems to agree with the only when analysing the dynamic suffix '-уа-'. I'd mention this one made by Hewitt instead.
498:
This part alone saying that the Russian 'ы' is more closed, should be enough to say that the Abkhaz 'ы' is probably or . The next relevant passage I'll mention is this:

Unlike Chirikba and Hewitt, folks at University of Tubingen project use and in their IPA transcriptions instead of and . Is there a good reason for that?
762:(University of Tubingen project) use and in their IPA transcriptions instead of and . Is there a good reason for that? Should we note it in the article? 777:
Yeah the article now isn't in a good state, very few information about everything and lots of these claims are without any sources, and most likely wrong.

No, as far as I know all consonants may appear as singletons, and geminate consonants are also reduced to singletons in word-initial position.

So there's seems to be quite a lot of uncertainty in regards to this vowel, the description here being: : -->

with a 0 stem like -ԥс(ы)- 'to die', when we add the dynamic suffix and the finite stem we get -ԥсуеит-.
