• The Consonant Phonemes in positions 13, 16, 23, 25 are combined phonemes with no exceptional usage and will be treated as a single letter in each case.
• The velar " ll " is for non-initial positions only (ll), Velar L never comes as initial position in Kurdish.
• The trill " rr " is for non-initial positions only, since initial position in any Kurdish words is pronounced as a Trill " R ".
