Pronunciation

(Standard Tagalog) IPA^(key): /ŋ/ [ŋ]

Ligature

-g (Baybayin spelling ᜅ᜔)

alternative form of -ng, after words ending in ⟨n⟩.

Usage notes

While it seems that only -g is only added to words ending in ⟨n⟩, that is not entirely the case. The letter ⟨n⟩ is dropped in some cases and then replaced by the separate letter ⟨ng⟩ instead of simply appending ⟨g⟩.
