 :7. Transcribe the avagraha, which marks an elided vowel in Sanskrit clusters, with a spacing grave accent ( ` ).


 * 8. When ཡ་ is preceded by ག་, it is romanized gʹya to distinguish it from གྱ་, which is romanized gya. This diacritical mark is the “modified letter prime”. Note that the Wylie transliteration schema uses the period as a non-joiner (g.ya), but this can cause searching difficulties in local systems because it is read as a space.
 * 9. When two full forms of letters are stacked, as in Sanskritized Tibetan, there is no need to indicate the stacking. However, in the two cases noted here a modified letter prime should be inserted between the two consonants for the purpose of disambiguation.


 * 10. Tibetan numerals are ༠ (0), ༡ (1), ༢ (2), ༣ (3), ༤ (4), ༥ (5), ༦ (6), ༧ (7), ༨ (8), and ༩ (9).

Punctuation
 * 1. Tsheg ( ་ ), the syllabic boundary marker, is represented by a hyphen in proper names and by a space in other words.
 * 2. Transcribe a centered point (・) indicating a space with a space.


 * 3. Transcribe angle brackets (guillemets) (《 ... 》) used in the manner of quotation marks (“ ... ”) as quotation marks. Angle brackets are most typically used for indicating the titles of works.
