- In order to clarify pronunciation, /buːi/ is transcribed as bu'i with an apostrophe, while /bwi/ is transcribed as bui, without one.
- /w/ at the start of a word followed by a vowel is transcribed as o, as in Oembo (/wembo/).
- In the Kisolongo and Kizombo dialects, the sound /v/ is often pronounced /β/ and may be written as bh.
