When a syllable begins with a vowel, a silent letter is inserted before it. If the syllable begins with /a/ or /e/, <v> is inserted; if it begins with /i/ or /ʏ/, <y> is inserted; and if it begins with /o/ or /u/, <w> is inserted.

When a consonant is followed by or and then a second vowel, the or is pronounced /j/ resp. /w/. If there is no other consonant before a /j/ or /w/, <y> resp. <w> is used for representing those sounds.
