Compared to cuneiform Hittite, [[logogram]]s (signs with a set symbolic value) are rare. Instead, most writing is done with the syllabic characters, where a single symbol stands for a vowel, or a consonant-vowel pair (either VC or CV). A striking feature is the consistent use of 'full-writing' to indicate long vowels, even at the beginning of words. In this system a long vowel is indicated by writing it twice. For example, ''īdi'' "he goes" is written ''i-i-ti'' rather than ''i-ti'', and ''ānda'' "in" is written ''a-an-ta'' rather than ''an-ta''.
