Syllable-initially indistinguishable from t.^: 23^: 9 When it must be distinguished from t medially, it can be written twice, and with both medial forms (as in ᠬᠤᠳᠳᠤᠭ qudduγ 'well', compared with ᠬᠤᠲᠤᠭ qutuγ 'holy').^: 59 Alternatively, a dot is sometimes used to the right of the letter in 19th and 20th century manuscripts.^: 26

Positional variants of lamedh ⟨ᠳ᠋‍/‍ᠲ‍/‍ᠳ᠋⟩ can be used to clarify the spelling of d in words of foreign origin, as in ᠳ᠋ᠣᠻᠲ᠋ᠣᠷ dokhtor 'doctor' (доктор doktor), ᠳᠡᠳ᠋ ded 'the following, the succeding' (дэд ded), and ᠡᠳ᠋ ed 'goods, property' (distinguishing it from ᠣᠨ on 'year', and retained in derivatives such as ᠡᠳ᠋ᠯᠡᠯ^⟨?⟩ edlel 'possession' (эдлэл edlel); эд ed).^{: 23, 32, 55}^: 31^: 39, 41
