Note on orthography

The underline-accented ṉ appears when a consonantal n sound can be confused with either of the nasal vowels en or on. With the underline accent, a word like keṉhó:tons is pronounced ke-n-hó:-tons. If there were no underline accent here, keṉhó:tons would be pronounced ken-hó:-tons. There is no need to put an underline accent under all of the verb forms for -nhoton- because a and i do not have nasal vowel counterparts: Ranhó:tons.
