-* Rear Nasal: m, n, ng
+* Nasal Finals: {{tts2|m, n, ng|am, an, ang}}
-The rear nasals ''m'', ''n'', and ''ng'' can be appended to any of the vowels and some of the diphthongs. In addition, ''m'' and ''ng'' can function as independent syllables by themselves.
+The nasal finals ''m'', ''n'', and ''ng'' can be appended to any of the vowels and some of the diphthongs. In addition, ''m'' and ''ng'' can function as independent syllables by themselves.
 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.)
-TMSS originally prescribed two special characters: the Greek {{w|Nu (letter)}} and an [[o]] crossed by a backslash (or [[ø]]). To enable ASCII only typing, these were replaced with the Latin letter ''v'' and number ''0'', respectively. Because mixing numbers into words is problematic for spell checkers, ''0'' was subsequently replaced by ''Q''. For convenience, ''Qe'' can generally be replaced with ''oe'' (the distinction between these two sounds is blurred in common usage).

Recently the [[ø]] ("letter O with stroke") is used without much technical difficulty.
