C1. letter. Represents a consonant that has four different sounds. 1. When it begins or finalizes a word, or when it finalizes a syllable, the velum closes, the back of the tongue it touches the velum and stops the airflow, which is then released through the front of the mouth. 2. When it finalizes a syllable and is followed by QU, the velum closes, the back of the tongue approaches the velum, and the air flows suddently but softly through the middle of the open mouth. 3. When C2 finalizes a syllable, the velum closes, the back of the tongue barely approaches the velum, and the air flows suddenly and faintly through the middle of the open mouth. 4. When it begins a syllable and is followed by E, Ē, I1 or Ī1, the velum closes, the tongue is right behind the teeth, the lips open slightly, and the air hisses as it passes through the barely touching upper and lower teeth.

*C2 is the third person singular specific object prefix
