- Obsolete letters
- Silent as initial consonant
- Part of a diphthong
- Final ร without a vowel mark = ɔɔn; Medial รร = a
- ฤ = รึ (rʉ, rue); ฤๅ = รือ: (rʉʉ, rue); ฦ = ลึ (lʉ, lue); ฦๅ = ลือ: (lʉʉ, lue). However, their pronunciation might change in words.
- Western loanwords sometimes use initials as alternative finals instead.
- Finals in parentheses are theoretical and they have never occured.
