A sound resembling j is frequently given by the natives, which can be represented by dy or ty; thus, dya or tya has very nearly the same sound as ja.
In all cases where there is a double consonant, each letter is distinctly enunciated.
W always commences a syllable or word and has its ordinary consonant sound in all cases.
