# After back vowels, ''c'' is not fully spirantized [ç], but weakly aspirated [cʰ]. Ligatures ''f'' and ''k'' are [ç] after ''a'' and ''u'' respectively. | |||
# Grapheme ''x'' [x] comes word-finally only after front vowels but it is treated as plain. | |||
# Grapheme ''v'' is only used in codas after ''a'' and ''e'' to indicate the diphthongs [ɑʊ̯] and [øy̯]. | |||
