Here is just one of the 150 examples we recorded of how these syllable characters are formed. There is no need to list the syllable characters one by one anyway. If you know the simple 24 characters and few tamga signs as sound values, you can read syllable characters as well. Syllable-characters are read from bottom to top and if they intertwined with each other, they are read from the left outside to the middle inside.

NOTE2: In VM texts, the letters T, L, Y, B were used by the author as both syllable characters and as simple/base characters.
Probably this is an unusual practice preferred for making word games in writing.
