Each glyph is composed of a consonants followed by a vowel sound. When a sound is isolated, the glyphs from the primary set are used instead. For example, the word for cat, pronunced fublè, will be written with the glyphs for /fʊ/, /b/ and /lɛ/:
Here the /b/ sound is isolated, without any vowel sound, so the glyph for it comes from the primary set. The others come from the secondary one.
fublè
Here the /b/ sound is isolated, without any vowel sound, so the glyph for it comes from the primary set. The others come from the secondary one.
Nota Bene: There are a few exceptions where the glyphs don't match with the pronunciation of a word. However, they follow the sound changes noted in this article. For example, the word for mood is written as abu but is pronunced /ɑˈmʊ/; the gyphs used are the ones for /ɑ/ and /bʊ/.
