** When long vowels are pronounced as identical vowels in hiatus, each vowel carries its own tone. If stressed, they follow the pattern of HM. If preceding a stressed syllable, then ML. Using the examples above, ''enâ'' would be pronounced as [ɛ̀ˈnáˌa] and ''bābá'' as [ba.àˈbá].

The '''W ablaut''' is a morpho-phonological process that appears throughout Saxuma inflections. It performs the following vowel transformations:  
The '''w-ablaut''' is a morpho-phonological process that appears throughout Saxuma inflections. It performs the following vowel transformations:  
* a → aw, or → o if word-final and unstressed
* a → aw, or → o if word-final and unstressed
* i → yu

* Accented short vowels are indicated with an acute accent, unaccented long vowels with a macron, and accented long vowels with a carat. Accents are often not indicated outside of dictionaries and other linguistic texts, except when disambiguation is considered necessary.  
* Accented short vowels are indicated with an acute accent, unaccented long vowels with a macron, and accented long vowels with a carat. Accents are often not indicated outside of dictionaries and other linguistic texts, except when disambiguation is considered necessary.  
** In texts with accents marked, if a word has no accent, it can be assumed to have ultimate stress if it is a verb, and initial stress otherwise. For example, ''leyo'' ("world") is equivalent to ''léyo'', and ''mabu'' ("to learn") is equivalent to ''mabú''

* A dot is placed above low- and mid-tone, word-final <nowiki><s> and <x></nowiki> to indicate that they are debucalized in the direct form, but retain their typical pronunciation in the construct form. In their construct forms, the dot is removed. Thus ''buliẋ'' is ''bulixu'' in the construct. 
* Vowels placed before ⟨q⟩ represent their etymological pronunciation, not necessarily their current realization. Thus, ''niqí'' is pronounced as [nɛˈʔi].
* Vowels placed before <nowiki><q></nowiki> represent their etymological pronunciation, not necessarily their current realization. Thus, ''niqí'' is pronounced as [nɛˈʔi].
