ABSTRACT

In this unit we will learn how to use independent vowel forms and nasalized vowels. In the last unit we showed that dependent counterparts are used with a preceding consonant. In all other cases, the independent form is used. Here is the list of the independent vowels again. These vowels are also called ‘main’ vowels.
