Pasangan Its pasangan form , is located on the bottom side of the previous syllable. The pasangan only occurs if a word ends with a consonant, and the next word starts with 'y', for example - anak yuyu (little crab). If it is located between a consonant and a vocal, it doesn't form a pasangan. Instead it uses a special panjingan called a pengkal (), for example - ampyang (a kind of snack).
Murda The letter ꦪ does not have a murda form.
