Modern Closing Consonants
Burmese doesn't have closing consonant sounds. English loan word "size" is commonly spoken as "site" without "t" sound. However, modern Burmese words append Sa1 thut inside the brackets to imitate the closing (s) sound. Similarly, it is possible to spell (ch) and (sh) endings to express foreign words. In some cases, brackets are omitted. For example, "Ford" can be spelled with an extra Da1 Dway3 thut. "Web" in "Website" is spelled with an extra Ba1 gome3 thut.
