Vowel Marks
These vowel marks are used to indicate vowels within words. Note that /e/ has no mark and is the only vowel omited when it occurs within a word.
- shehet kaba
- /ʃɛˌɦet kabˌa/
- MED-tree be.large-3s
- That tree is large..
The top example is incorrect, and notice in the bottom example, the /a/ marked on the /k/ is the only mark used. The final /a/ on kaba ends the word, and therefore is written in full form.
