===Romanisation===


The romanisation strikes a balance between representing phonemes versus surface realisations and uses the following letters as well as an apostrophe to mark a word-initial glottal stop. A dot below a consonant letter is used to denote a syllabic realisation, and under a vowel to mark stress when ambiguous.

===Syllabification===
===Syllabification===


In unstressed prefixes, colourless or epenthetic vowels may drop out in favour of syllabification of an adjacent fricative or nasal. This is represented in the romanisation by a dot placed under the non-vocalic consonant letter (vowels are simply represented as such).
In unstressed prefixes, colourless or epenthetic vowels may drop out in favour of syllabification of an adjacent fricative or nasal. This is represented in the romanisation by the vowel letter '''ı''' placed before the non-vocalic consonant letter.


An example of the former is the inalienable possession prefix ''(a)n-'' becoming ''an-''. Some word stems have inherent consonantal prefixes that get resolved the same way: ''n-doo-'' "(fire) smoke" becomes ''ṇdoo-'' in the absence of a prefix, and ''ʼadṇdoo-'' when the transitive-volitional ''ʼah-'' is added.

Sometimes stems appear connected through no longer productive processes, such as ''ṃmohwa'' "cook", related also to ''oo''.
