Zussmanite compositions at their most aluminium~rich become quasi-isochemical with stilpnomelane and in many rocks a back-reaction can be seen with a fine~grained stilpnomelane fuzz (brown in colour) developing along cracks in the zussmanite.
Some consonants can take the function of the vowel in unstressed syllables. Where necessary, a syllabic marker diacritic is used, hence /ˈpɛtl/ but /ˈpɛtl̩i/.
