The base forms for non-labialized guttural (uvular, pharyngeal, and glottal) consonants are not normally used, since they do not occur with the vowel /ə/ except in ideophones. If they do appear, they are used interchangeably with the /a/ forms (except for ). In ideophones, ኧ and ኸ are used for /(ʔ)ə/ and /hə/ respectvely. The rest simply use their base forms for /ə/ despite the ambiguity.
