The sounds represented by some consonants change when they are used at the end of a syllable (indicated by the letters on the right of the slash below). The consonants can all be used at the beginning of a syllable but only some can be used at the end of a syllable. The consonants in the final row are compounds and conjuncts used as alternatives to the basic consonants.
