 ާ‫ވ‬, ާ‫ހ‬, and ާ‫ ކޮކ‬keep the ާ before adding ‫ ލ‬for suffixes. So you would say
‫ވާލެއ‬, ‫ހާލެއ‬, and ‫ކޮކާލެއ‬, instead of ‫ވަލެއ‬, ‫ހަލެއ‬, and ‫ކޮކަލެއ‬.
 ާ‫ކުއތ‬, ާ‫ވެލ‬, ާ‫ސނގ‬, ާ‫ ފުއލ‬and ާ‫ ޒަރާފ‬do not take ‫ލ‬. Suffixes are just added to
the end (‫ ކުއތާއެއ‬etc.)
 ‫ ބަކަރ‬becomes ‫ބަކައޓެއ‬
