There are four words where the low class consonant
"
 " is changed to a middle class consonant
by putting a silent "Í"
in front of it. We had to learn these at school.
| ÍÂèÒ |
yaa |
do
not |
| ÍÂÙè |
yoo |
to live,
to stay |
| ÍÂèÒ§ |
yang |
kind,
sort of |
| ÍÂÒ¡ |
yaak |
to want |
Two of the above are homonyms (sound the same)
and are used with the silent "
Ë ".
| ËÂèÒ
|
yaa |
divorce |
|
ËÂÒ¡(äÂè) |
yaak
(yai) |
