Because punctuation marks are used for tone, new sentences are marked only by a capital letter. Similarly, smallcaps are used in place of commas.

Originally, only consonants and initial low vowels were written. Vocalic diacritics developed and were added to the ends of words where disambiguation was necessary, eventually coming into universal use.

The default syllabic template is CVCV for biconsonantal words and CVCVCV for triconsonantal words; words of different shapes are written as blocks of biconsonants, ending, if necessary, in a triconsonant.

Length is only distinguished in certain religious texts.
