a as æ, ä, a, e, i, aa, ea, o.
e — æ, ae, i, ø, ee.
f — b, v.
g — gg, g’, gh, ch, k, ρk.
i — e, æ, ae, ee, ii.
j — y.
κ — k, k’, kr, k˙, ρk, ρkρ, ch, ρ, ng, rn.
k — g, q, ng.
l — ll.
dl — l, kl.
ng — ñ.
o — a, oo.
p — b, bb.
r — ρ, rr.
r’ — rh, ch, χ, g’, ρ.
s — ch, sch, sh, ç, tch, dj, dj, dz, tç, z.
