Notes

  1. ^ /r/ is phonetically an alveolar flap [ ɾ], alveolar trill [ r] or alveolar approximant [ ɹ] depending on the variety and speaker.
  2. ^ When preceding a vowel in word-initial positions, /w/ may occur as an allophone of /o/ and /u/, especially in loan words e.g. ꠅꠣꠖꠣ [wada] 'promise', ꠅꠤꠟꠤꠀꠝ [wiliam] 'William'.
  3. ^ a b Primary stress usually occurs in word-initial positions with secondary stress occurring afterwards.
