Notes

  • In the Senjecan alphabet there are 33 graphemes, one for each of the phonemes. There are 24 consonants, six vowels (each of which can be long or short), and three weak vowels.
  • In some orthographies a diacritic is used to indicate a long vowel; in others the grapheme is doubled.
  • In some orthographies labialization and palatalization are indicated by a diacritic; in others a special grapheme is used.
  • The 24 consonants and the six vowels are named after some natural object. As perceptible objects they are placed in the o class, although some are named after objects in the e and i classes.
  • In the Senjecan alphabet order, these 33 graphemes are ordered according to the point of articulation. Thus, there are five groups, known as clans (űka).
  1. labial (feműka)
  2. dental (rįsűka)
  3. alveolar (muitűka)
  4. palatal (vainűka)
  5. vowel (ąŕšenűka)
