WRITING
Here are some loan-words written with the nasalized dipthong
uic\ [ain].| Puic\ny\ | final(Eng) |
| ema\eta\Suic\ky\ | motor cycle (Eng) |
| pRuic\;mit\ | primate (Eng) |
| kQoic\ | coil(Eng) |
| spuic\ | spy (Eng) |
In writing some loan-words from Pali language, ui?\ is used in stead of uic\ [ain] to be closer to the original spelling. e.g: gui?\; [sect]
READING
You will read this word Apuic\;puic\; as [á pàin pàin] when you are reading as it is written, but it is sometimes read or said [â pàin bàin] and sometimes [à pàin màin]. Notice that the consonant [p] that follows the nasalized dipthong changes to the nasalized consonant [m]. Nasalization of the consonant following after a nasalized vowel usually occurs when a speaker says a word fast.
