Sometimes vowels are unvoiced, when this is the case, I have used parenthesis around the appropriate syllable (a common transcription). Note that the consonant of that syllable is still pronounced, with the preceeding syllable. EXAMPLE: mock is a-ye-(li)-di and pronounced a-yel-di However, if I put two vowels in parenthesis, it represents alternate forms. EXAMPLE: crow is ko-g(i)(a) which means that ko-gi or ko-ga are both correct.
