Cuando las vocales se juntan con las consonantes, se convierten en

MATRAS. Cada vocal tiene su matra (o smbolo) para juntarse con las
consonantes. Por ejemplo:

As que, por ejemplo, para escribir ka, en vez de escribir

dk

ya que la matra de A es

k-

dvk

se

Lo mismo para el resto de las

vocales y sus matras.

;ksxk

;ksx y NO

y la pronunciacin ms correcta sera yog. Ahora
