The stops ''h''/''q'', ''k''/''g'', ''p''/''b'' and ''t''/''d'' can appear as the last letter in a syllable, in which case they are pronounced as unreleased stops. (The finals ''h'' and ''q'' stand for a glottal stop of high and low tone, respectively.) | The stops ''h''/''q'', ''k''/''g'', ''p''/''b'' and ''t''/''d'' can appear as the last letter in a syllable, in which case they are pronounced as unreleased stops.

TMSS originally prescribed two special characters: the Greek {{w|Nu (letter)}} and an [[o]] crossed by a backslash. To enable ASCII only typing, these were replaced with the Latin letter ''v'' and number ''0'', respectively. | TMSS originally prescribed two special characters: the Greek {{w|Nu (letter)}} and an [[o]] crossed by a backslash. To enable ASCII only typing, these were replaced with the Latin letter ''v'' and number ''0'', respectively. In modern computing environments, [[ø]] ("letter O with stroke") is used without much technical difficulty. Furthermore, ''[[øe]]'' can generally be replaced with ''oe'' (the distinction between these two sounds is blurred in common usage). | ||
