* Vowels with multiple entries use the same letter to write distinct sounds. There are a set of rules determining when to use which pronounciation. | |||
* <H h> is pronounced /h/ word-initially and lengthens the preceding vowel anywhere else | |||
* <U u> has a vocalic form and a consonantal form. They are separate letters to make it easier to transcribe clerical script. The consonantal form is called ''gamorzjets u'' ("short u") | |||
* <X x> is seen in one word in modern text: ''Xristo'' ("Christ") | |||
