When two adjacent vowels are not joined together as one vowel (a diphthong), we say that there is a hiatus (a gap) between them. In many words, <span style="color: #008000;">bh, mh, dh, gh</span> are mute when they appear between vowels. The preceding and following syllables are generally not coalesced (not joined, not run together) as one vowel. We say that there is a hiatus or a gap between such syllables. Here are some examples: | When two adjacent vowels are not joined together as one vowel (a diphthong), we say that there is a hiatus (a gap) between them.

[Lɤ.əx] | laghach | kind |
[sɯː.əL] | saoghal | world |
[kLɤ.əx] | cladhach | digging |
[a.ɪNʲ] | abhainn | river |
-th-, which is usually pronounced as [h], is used only in a small number of words to indicate hiatus e.g.
[La.a] | latha | day |
[ha.asd] | fhathast | yet |
[Ra.ad] | rathad | road |
