Below is a list of techniques one can use to transcribe foreign words into Toaq's phonology.


- Change approximate onsets /w/ to {{T|ba}}
- Render approximate onsets /w/ as {{T|ba}}.
- Render approximate onsets /j/ as {{T|j}}.
- Render "n + consonant" pairings as a syllable-final {{T|q}} on the previous word: "pans" -> {{T|paqsy}}.
- Render "t + s" pairings as {{T|c}} and "d + z" pairings as {{T|z}}: "rights" -> {{T|raıcy}} and "rides" -> {{T||raızy}}. (This may seem like an obvious rule, but it can be easy to forget that these particular "consonant clusters" are allowed in Toaq's morphology.)

Below is a list of techniques one can use to transcribe foreign words into Toaq's phonology.

- Render approximate onsets /w/ as ba. - Render approximate onsets /j/ as j. - Render "n + consonant" pairings as a syllable-final q on the previous word: "pans" -> paqsy. - Render "t + s" pairings as c and "d + z" pairings as z: "rights" -> raıcy and "rides" -> . (This may seem like an obvious rule, but it can be easy to forget that these particular "consonant clusters" are allowed in Toaq's morphology.)
