== Summary ==
Non-alphabet spellings listed in ''italics.'' Marks are listed after letter spellings and use Bet by default or any consonant that can take the mark.
Stress is marked on with an acute accent (´) on the vowel. This isn't used on second-to-last syllables, syllables ending in vowels, words with one syllable, or with inflection suffixes.
