Ligature

-g (Baybayin spelling ᜅ᜔)

  1. Alternative form of -ng, after words ending in ⟨n⟩.

Usage notes

[edit]
  • While it seems that only -g is only added to words ending in ⟨n⟩, that is not entirely the case. The letter n is dropped in some cases and then replaced by the separate letter ng instead of simply appending g.
