To mark aspiration and affricates, the corresponding letters are simply written next to each other, thus kh in Lepsius' Standard Alphabet would be in IPA and tš would be . For palatalization, the character ʹ is used, so pʹ is in IPA. Ejective consonants are sometimes written as double letters, although this could be mixed up with long consonants.
