-Vietnamese in the Irta timeline is pretty much the same as in our timeline but it uses a very deep, yet unambiguously readable, orthography reflecting Proto-Vietic and Middle Chinese etyma. For example, ''về'' 'to return; about' is spelled ''wêr'', reflecting Proto-Vietic ''*we:r''.
+Vietnamese in the Irta timeline is pretty much the same as in our timeline but it uses a very deep, yet unambiguously readable, orthography reflecting Proto-Vietic and Middle Chinese etyma. For example:
+* ''về'' 'to return; about' is spelled ''wêr'', reflecting Proto-Vietic ''*we:r''. Here the lack of a tone letter and the resonant final, and the low tone class initial ''w-'' (read as the consonant /v/) allows one to deduce the ''huyền'' tone.
+* Its derivative ''quê'' is spelled ''kwêr''. Here the ''kw-'' initial uses tones of the high tone class, so it can be read as having the ''ngang'' tone.
