Instead, it simply acts as a placeholder since <u>vowels cannot be written by themselves<\/u>. However, if \u3147 is in the final (bottom) position, it makes an NG sound, eg &#8216;si<b>ng&#8217;<\/b> or &#8216;wro<b>ng&#8217;<\/b>, but these final position sounds will not be discussed until step 5 of this lesson.
