*In general, the letter d is vocalized as the /d/ phoneme when at the onset of a syllable, and as the /ð/ phoneme when either in the coda of a syllable. Exceptions can occur when the letter is preceded by the /n/ phoneme, as a letter d that follows the /n/ phoneme within the same word will be expressed as the /ð/ phoneme, regardless of its place in its syllable.
**In general, the letter r is vocalized as the /ɹ/ phoneme; however, when it falls between two vowels within the same word, it will usually be expressed as the /r/ phoneme. This is often (but not always) expressed in writing with a double r.
