Vowel i

This lesson covers how you write the vowel sound in "ill" and "his".

---

The letter I is missing from the base layout, and is instead made with the chord EU.

This is the lax version of "i", as found in:

• EUL: ill
• HEUL: hill
• PEUT: pit
• HEUP: hip
• SEUP: sip
• STEUL: still
• WHEUP: whip
• KEUS: kiss
• TEULT: tilt
• WREUT: writ
