Transliteration key



* This sound, a long e, comparable to the ending sounds in French words (une) raie, (un) prêt, (une) forêt, (du) lait, (la) paix, appears only at the end of words. It is commonly represented by -eh, in which h is not pronounced.


** As in French (une) rouille, (une) fouille, (la) houille.
