Combinations of bi, ci, fi, gi, ki, mi, ni, pi, si, wi, zi followed by a vowel also represent single sounds. The trigraph dzi followed by a vowel represents one sound. Di- and trigraphs are alphabetized like single letters. While uncommon, the letters Q, V and X may be used to represent foreign words.
