bẹ

A syllable of the Ndebe syllabary: the body b with the vowel ẹ.

The three tones

Tone is part of the character in Ndebe, not a mark added to it, so one syllable is written three different ways. These are the same shape family — the character on the left in each box is the one to learn first, and it is the form the chart shows.

  • high tone

    bẹ

    U+E554

  • mid tone

    bẹ

    U+E555

  • low tone

    bẹ

    U+E556

Words that use it

No published entry in this dictionary uses this syllable yet. The chart still shows it, because a syllabary is the whole set of its characters rather than the ones that happen to appear in a word list — but there is nothing here to read it in.
