An apostrophe marks syllable separation between ''identical'' vowels. Thus, /ae/ would be written ⟨ae⟩, but /a.a/ would be written ⟨a’a⟩. The apostrophe is written in a specific form: ⟨’⟩, instead of the more common ⟨'⟩, though in the original specifications of the Mark Mii system, the more common form of the apostrophe was described as being interchangeable with ⟨’⟩. | An apostrophe marks syllable separation between ''identical'' vowels.

Nawuhu is primarily an SOV(subject-object-verb) language. However, in a phrase where there is no object, the word order is verb-initial. However, if the object is omitted but still implied, the word order remains as the standard SV. Thus, "I am", would be ''í ja'', lit. "am I", while "I am a person" would be ''ja í pida’a'', lit. "I am person a". | Nawuhu is primarily an SOV(subject-object-verb) language. However, in a phrase where there is no object, the word order is verb-initial.
