  • a å e o u y are slightly raises to /ɐ̜ ɐ̹ ɪ ʊ̹ ʏ ʊ̜/ in unstressed position
  • doubling a vowel raises it (/a ɒ e o ø ɤ/ → /ɜ ɞ i u y ɯ/), lengthens its sound, and puts stress on its syllable

Stress

Stress normally falls on the first syllable of a word. However, there is irregular stress. This is denoted by an acute accent on that specific syllable's vowel to show the irregularity.
