For example: | ||

/ɔ/ is generally written as ⟨o⟩ when stressed, as in ''p'''o'''ma'', with stressed /o/ written as ⟨ó⟩; this is contrastive, so ''donas'' "from some (fem.)" and ''dónas'' "beautiful women" are contrastive. However, /ɔ/ is always lowered to [o] before nasals, so words like ''ome'' /ˈɔme/ are pronounced as if written as ''*óme'' [[Help:IPA|[ˈome]]]. | |||
