Ā
The letter order in this dictionary follows its own system similar in many ways to the Devanagari alphasyllabary:
It begins with the vowels, from most open ā to least and winding front to back, ending with the vowel ü. The vowels are organised as follows: ā, an, e, en, o, on, a, ē, ö, u, y, ī, ü
The consonants are organised according to their place of articulation (from the furthest back, in this case the soft palate, to the furthest front i.e. the lips):
h, ḡ, k, kh, g, j, ɥ, x, ż, l, s, z, r, t, th, d, n, tx, dż, s, dz, f, v, w, p, ph, b, m
