===c, g, h===

The letters '''c, g, h''' have different pronunciations depending on the following vowel:

* Before '''a, o, u''' they represent {{IPA|/k ɡ χ/}}

* Before '''i, e''' they represent {{IPA|/tɕ dʑ ç/}}

Note that the {{IPA|/ç/}} phoneme may also be written '''x''' in all positions due to a general sound shift, representing earlier {{IPA|/ɕ/}} when written as such. Some Western dialects still pronounce '''x''' as {{IPA|/ɕ/}}.

In order to write the same sounds before the opposite pair of letters, the following letters or digraphs are used:

* Palatal sound + ''a, o, u''' → '''ch, j, x'''

* Velar sound + ''i, e'' → '''qu, gu'''; the sequences {{IPA|/χi χe/}} do not exist in the Lingua Sine Nomine.

===Epenthesis===

Epenthetic unwritten vowels are found in most dialects in virtually every word-final written cluster, except for nasal+stop ones, where only the nasal is pronounced<ref>In some cases, the consonant is still analyzed as a phoneme in those words due to it appearing when inflected. In others, themselves inflections, the consonant never appears and is only written because of etymological spelling.</ref>. The epenthetic vowel is always unstressed and of the same quality of the preceding vowel. They are not analyzed as phonemic.
