- The letter W, marked for its long stressed pronunciation, either in a monosyllabic word or in the final syllable of a polysyllabic word.
- In practice, this letter also takes on the function ofẅ, namely to indicate the syllabic vocalic pronunciation of the vowel distinct from adjacent vowels e.g.dŵad,sŵau rather than expected *dẅad, *sẅau. This is not the case for other circumflex-marked vowels.
