  • Syllables in the form jV use the capital version of their respective vowel.
  • If Cu syllable uses a capital letter, the corresponding Ci is its lowercase version.
  • If Co syllable uses a capital letter, the corresponding Ca is its lowercase version.
  • The numbers keys 1, 2, 3, and 5 are used for wan, tu, mute, and luka, respectively (as in their first mora of the words).
  • The words li and mi are mapped to J and I keys, respectively.
  • The syllable lu is additionally mapped to the V key for easy accessibility.
