Usage notes

  • This spelling does not follow the rule regarding double vowel clusters beginning with /i/ or /u/ as the first vowel (eg. /ia/ or /ua/), which are typically retained at the start of a word or after two consecutive consonants then inserting y or w between the vowels. See Appendix:Tagalog spellings for details.
