- Because the Ocaina alphabet is based on Spanish, c is used to indicate /k/ before a, o, and u, qu is used before e and i, and k is used in loan words, such as kerosene "kerosene".
- Nasalization is indicated by inserting n after a vowel. Compare: tya tyója "hang it" vs. tya tyonjan "clean it".
- High tone is indicated with the acute accent: á, é, í, ó, ú.
