гъв ɣv ғв ʁʷ гъвяри, гъвярцӏли ғвяри, ғвярцьли labialized
гъва ɣva ғо ʁʷa гъвайгъвай ғойғой The labialization followed by /a/ is the most common; therefore, Alkaitagi has repurposed the grapheme <o> to represent a combination of labialization of the preceding consonant and /a/; in other words, <o> = /ʷa/. This works because there is no /o/, so <о> can be put to use for something else.

ъ ʾ ъ ʔ Neither the Soviet nor Alkaitagi orthographies write out the obligatory glottal stop preceding vowel-initial words (i.e. vowel-initial words are actually not vowel-initial).
я ə я æ vowel The Soviet orthography is ambiguous as to the value of <я> and other yotted vowels in the initial position since they can stabd for both /æ/ and /ja/, but in Alkaitagi orthography, я is always /æ/ and /ja/, /jæ/ are always <йа>, <йя>.
хӏ ħ fricative Alkaitagi hasn't come up with palochkaless equivalents of these graphemes since /ħ/ and /ʡ/ have merged with /h/ and /ʔ/ in Upper Kaitag
гӏ ʿ ʡ гӏябал, гӏяркьвя ябал, ярҡьвя Because /ʡ/ has merged with /ʔ/ in Upper Kaitag, and /ʔ/ isn't spelled out word-initially, Alkaitagi skips this character when writing words in Upper Kaitag.

Attestations in Alkaitagi's alphabet (for example in {{R:xdq:Magomedov:2025}}) should be normalized to Wiktionary standard.
