How it is written

The อ above is a placeholder for whichever consonant the vowel attaches to - it is not part of the vowel. This one sits on, under or after its consonant.

Vowel length changes the tone. A short vowel makes an open syllable dead, and live or dead is one of the three things that decide a syllable's tone. See the rules, or let the tone checker do it.

Pulled from the course vocabulary by matching the written form, so the odd near-miss can slip in.
