The characters of the sixth and seventh orders (i.e. /sadıs/ and /sabı/) are less predictable. Thus /sadıs/ may be characterized either by a zigzag, e.g.
| I /gı'ız/ |
VI /sadıs/ | |
| ሀ /ha/ | ህ /hı/ | |
| አ /a/ | እ /ı/ | |
| ከ /kə/ | ክ /kı/ | |
| ጠ /Tə/ | ጥ /Tı/ | |
| ፐ /pə/ | ፕ /pı/ |
or by a hooked dash at the left side of the character, e.g.
| I /gı'ız/ |
VI /sadıs/ | |
| በ /bə/ | ብ /bı/ | |
| ሐ /ha/ | ሕ /hı/ | |
| ዘ /zə/ | ዝ /zı/ |
some characters of this order have the dash attached to the right side, e.g.
| I /gı'ız/ |
VI /sadıs/ | |
| ደ /də/ | ድ /dı/ | |
| ጸ /Sə/ | ጽ /Sı/ | |
| ወ /wə/ | ው /wı/ |
Characters 20 and 31 have a vertical line attached to the top:
| I /gı'ız/ |
VI /sadıs/ | |
| ዐ /a/ | ዕ /ı/ | |
| ፀ /Sə/ | ፅ /Sı/ |
