^ It is pronounced [i] when it's the last letter of a word, or when in the first syllable of the word.
^ The [ə] here, turns into [ɞ̝ ] when written before any bilabial consonants.
^ It is pronounced [ə] when in the last syllable of the word, exceptions are compound words, for example: эрыӈпыл [erəŋpil] and сольпыл [solʲpil] (because пыл [pil] is another word), and suffixed word like атыт since the suffix is -ыт | [-it]
↑ ^5.0 ^5.1 ^5.2 ^5.3 This refers to other letters like я, ю, е, ё and long variants of them
^ The use of the word "sorry" in the Mansi language is a very fresh Russian influence. Traditionally, the Mansi does not apologize.
