/ɦ/ is an allophone of /h/ pronounced in intervocalic positions(between vowels), hence the /ɦ/ in ''[[Contionary:wúhu|wú'''h'''u]]''. However, when a /h/ is stressed, even in intervocalic positions, it is always pronounced /h/, hence the /h/ in ''[[Contionary:puhúno|pu'''h'''úno]]''.

====Nayohbuk====
'''Nayohbuk'''(Nawuhu: ''na’a yohbukai'', lit. "thief talk") is the Nawuhu slang used(or at least known) by most young people in Wuhu Town.
It is significantly more influenced by English than standard Nawuhu, with many Japanese loanwords in standard Nawuhu being replaced by English equivalents in Nayohbuk, such as Nawuhu ''he'en'' "bizarre" replaced with Nayohbuk ''wé'ed'', from English "weird".
Nayohbuk speakers also tend to pronounce /l/ as [ɾ], and addressing one another as ''púno''(a shortened form of ''puhúno'') is more common than in standard Nawuhu.
