Note:

• When two consonants are pronounced consecutively within a word, the second consonant is written in a special sub-consonant from below the first consonant.

• The sub-consonants are called (ceeN) of consonant "consonant feet".

• The form of sub-consonant in most cases a smaller version of consonant, but without  the top part of consonant which is called (sAq) (hair) of consonant.

• The combination of consonant and the sub-consonant is called (pcieN domruet).

• Initial clusters  are called  ( pcun) cnee)q psAm )

• Medial clusters are called (pcun) cnee)q pn)ae ceeN )

• The sub-consonants are used as initial clusters and medial clusters.

• When there is a consonant cluster, (including both an initial consonant and its sub-consonant), the vowel symbols are written around the consonant cluster (either before, above, or after the consonant cluster, and in some cases a combination of these). In all cases, however, the vowel is pronounced after the consonant cluster.
