  1. When linking sa with ta and ka a koli yomo ua'e ka'e yoso tahe [right up to left down] is used. The same construction is used when linking ha with ta and ka.
  2. When linking la with na and nya a koli yoso ua'e ka'e yomo tahe [left up to right down] is used.
  3. When writing a word that begins with a vowel glyph that is followed by a na or nya, a koli yoso ua'e ka'e yomo tahe is used instead of the zero consonant symbol. This is the only occasion that a koli will be marked with a vowel diacritic.
