Version 3 was published on the 31st of July 2022 on [https://toaqlanguage.wordpress.com/2022/07/31/hoelai-3-and-new-phonotactics/ The Toaq Blog].
 
There are now only two possible patterns a syllable can take:
# Consonant in the middle with vowel to the right, tone on top, and -q / -y below; or
# Consonant in the middle with diphthong to the left and tone on top
 
In addition, a bare consonant no longer implies there to be an “a” there.
 
Since these changes would make CVV(q) and CVF syllables impossible to write as one syllable, there is a shortcut form which is a ligature of {{script|q}} + a vowel. (See right "Shortcut vowel characters".)
 
===Zodiac mode===
 
'''Zodiac mode''' turns Hoelai into a syllabary by combining consonant and vowel characters. Below, the list of characters.
{|
|The order of the finals are:||-a, -u, -ı, -o, -e, -aı, -ao, -oı, -ou, -eı,<br>-aq, -uq, -ıq, -oq, -eq, -y
|}

This generation is only available as a [https://toaqlanguage.wordpress.com/2020/10/22/the-hoelai-writing-system-2nd-edition/ pilot demonstration article]. Since it hinges on a yet unimplemented phonology overhaul, it cannot yet be used in practice, nor has a font been made for it yet.
