:<nowiki>**</nowiki>Only written after a syllable (consonant letter) to indicate a second vowel. Other vowels do not have special letters to emphasize a secondary vowel without glottal stop initial, such as {{script|Lisu|ꓡꓷꓰꓹ}} ({{IPA|[ləe]}}) is not written as {{script|Lisu|ꓡꓷˍꓰꓹ}} and can only be distinguished from {{Script|Lisu|ꓡꓷ ꓰꓹ}} ({{IPA|[lə ʔe]}}) by a space.

For example, {{angle bracket|{{script|Lisu|ꓗ}}}} is {{IPA|[kɑ̄]}}, while {{angle bracket|{{script|Lisu|ꓗꓲ}}}} is {{IPA|[kī]}}. 

When consonant ꓠꓬ, ꓬ is used with vowel ꓬꓱ, ꓬ, without being ambiguous only one ꓬ is written.

When transcribing diphthongs and nasal codas, letters ꓮ and ꓬ can work like vowels just like English letter Y, making Fraser script behave like an [[matres lectionis|abjadic]] alphabet like the [[Roman alphabet|Roman]] instead of an abugida like [[Tibetan script|Tibetan]]; meanwhile space works like a delimiter like a Tibetan tseg, making a final consonant (such as ꓠ) possible without necessity of a [[virama|halanta sign]]: 凉粉 {{Script|Lisu|ꓡꓬꓮꓳ ꓩꓷꓠ}} reads as {{IPA|/li̯ɛw fən/}} rather than as {{Script|Lisu|ꓡꓬ ꓮ ꓳ ꓩꓷ ꓠ}} {{IPA|/li̯ɑ ʔɑ ʔʊ fə nɑ/}}.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Bradley |title=Southern Lisu dictionary}}</ref>
