That is, never put the + tone on a consonant. +- The second vowel should not come with the diaresis. +- Long vowel should be represented by a tilde `~` rather than duplicating + vowels. +- Always write syllables separately. For example `càhánzy` (to give) must + be written as `cà hán zy`. +- The glottal stop must be explicit. For example `aäratse` (ash) must be + written as `'a~ rat se`. -- cgit 1.4.1
