Geminated single-letter consonants are written by doubling their letter. Geminated digraphic clicks and affricates are written by doubling their first letter, and the other geminated digraphic consonants are written by doubling their last letter. Consonant clusters are distinguished from consonant clusters by placing an apostrophe between each consonant until ambiguity is removed (e.g. /θ th/ are ⟨th t'h⟩, and /ʀː ɾʀ ʀɾ/ are ⟨rrr r'rr rr'r⟩).

Toneless syllabic consonants are written with an overdot. On digraphs, the overdot is written only on the first letter (e.g. /ŋ̩ ʀ̩/ get written ⟨ṅg ṙr⟩). For the syllabic palatal nasal, the ⟨ñ⟩ is replaced with ⟨ny⟩, upon which the overdot can be placed ⟨ṅy⟩. All syllabic /v̩ ð̩/ are written with ⟨b d⟩ instead of ⟨v dh⟩, and so receive the overdot as ⟨ḃ ḋ⟩.

High tone is marked with an acute accent on vowels without a diacritic. On vowels with a macron (denoting length), the macron is replaced with a circumflex (e.g. /í íː/ are ⟨í î⟩). High tone syllabic consonants /ɱ̩́ ń̩ ɲ̩́ ŋ̩́ ź̩ ʒ̩́ ẃ̩ ĺ̩ j̩́ ɾ̩́ ʀ̩́/ have their overdots replaced with the acute accent ⟨ḿ ń ńy ńg ź źh ẃ ĺ ý ŕ ŕr⟩.  High tone syllabic consonants /v̩ ð̩/ are written with a bar instead of an acute accent ⟨ƀ đ⟩.
