𒂷(g̃e₂₆/g̃e/) becomes 𒂷(g̃a₂/g̃a/) when followed by a case marker that contains the vowel /a/, i.e. genitive /ak/, dative /ra/, or comitative case /da/. Since the sign 𒂷 can be read both ways, sometimes scribes added 𒂊(e) or 𒀀(a) to disambiguate the spelling, e.g.:
𒂷𒀀𒄰 ― g̃e₂₆-a-kam /g̃akam/ ― He is mine.
The final vowel /e/ becomes /ē/ before the enclitic copula, and it is often indicated by the plene spelling, e.g.:
