Well, seems this dictionary is plain wrong, so don't use it. phon_razbor.gif
Try this:
瀰嗔 > 吶鉋? > 夥辣鱶袱 > 昼瑜逶 艪鼕
This type of reduction is clearly audiable is words such as язык, явление. I recorded some pronunciations on Forv. You can just check how it actually sounds in case you cannot consult a native speaker.
