The vowels are denoted by diacritics - glyphs that are added to consonant symbols. Another way to view it is as separate symbols that run atop or under the consonants. Essentially, these glyphs prescribe how to move from one consonant to another.

Written Bukk generally does not utilize double vowels, unless the intent is to make the vowel long, which is rare. Rather, it employs a special "modifier letter", which is usually transcribed as "a". It is in combination with "a" that written Bukk produces the more interesting sounds. This explains why it's difficult to immediately figure out the pronunciation of Bukk words. A good example would be a name such as [[Noana Kaogee]] /'nwɑnə kjuːgiː/ where the relevant combinations of "oa" and "ao" produce very particular sounds.
