Zlammi kiryi

short Zlamei (briefly pronounced)

 Zlammi kiryi are two short straight strokes under the letter which add the sound of short "I" as in Fit, sit, hit to it.

The two strokes are on a straight line on top and bottom

Zlammi Kiryie means they are pronounced briefly and the letter they belong to attaches itself to the one after it to form a sylable. The letter following the Zlami Kiryei is briefly pronounced twice. This is can be seen in some Enlgish wrods such as Bigger or shipper. Note the English pronounciation of the following Assyrian words.

 lib-ba     khidya,     dim-ma,   dib-ba,   bir-rka,    bir-rga    shim-ma  

                                 

  

     libba   kippna     diggna     zibbla      gilla    imma    khigga

 

tinna     shimma    ginna    mithra
