Classically, the written form of the language did not reflect vowel length, which is marked with a macron in modern markup. Laenktionary follows this approach, in that {{m|krv|huas|hūas}} will link to the page <{{m|krv|huas}}> without macrons, with cited forms including them. | Classically, the written form of the language did not reflect vowel length, which is marked with a macron in modern markup.

In modern usage, both Radestric and Riyanic mark vowel length diacritically, based on their native systems. Spelling is otherwise retained in Radestric tradition, though Riyanic tradition uses assimilative orthography for Kirvic borrowings in Riyan contexts, such as {{m|ryn|destas strêkeŗas}} for {{m|krv|desthas strekeṛas|desthas strēkeṛas|t=''actus reus''}}. | In modern usage, both Radestric and Riyanic mark vowel length diacritically, based on their native systems.
