Letter names - strong consonants.

Each Gilkesh letter begins its own name. The names of the Gilkesh strong consonants are as follows:

pa
phaha
bab
bhahab

te
thehe
ded
dhehedh

ci
chihi
jij
jhihijh

ko
khoho
gog
ghohogh

qu
qhuhu
q'uq'
q'huhuq'h

The Gilkesh letter names are formed regularly: unvoiced letter names are open, and names of voiced letters repeat the letter sound at the end of the letter name; aspirated letters have two-syllable names with an 'h' in the middle. Each articulation point (p, t, c, k, q) is associated with a different vowel. These features allow the letter names to be easily differentiated in spoken communication.
