One of the characteristics of this dialect is that words are stretched out in pronunciation with the addition of an extra vowel sound either in the middle of the words or at the end [[epenthesis]]. Thus the word ''{{transl\|kok\|dista}}'' is lengthened to ''{{transl\|kok\|disota}}'' and ''{{transl\|kok\|sanddlear}}'' into ''{{transl\|kok\|sanddilear}}''. The suffixes –i and –o are commonly used to add an extra syllable to a line.

Thus ''{{transl\|kok\|roddonk}}'' becomes ''{{transl\|kok\|roddunk}}'', ''mozo'' becomes ''muzo''. The possessive pronouns in the ''mando'' have the Salcete form, as ''tugel´lem'' for ''tujem'', ''mugel´lem'' for ''mujem'' or ''mojem''. Shorter forms are derived when the music needs to cut off a syllable, e.g. ''tuj´ kodden (koddem)'' instead of ''tuje koddem'' and ''mak´ naka'' instead of ''maka naka''. Not only the phonetics correspond to the Salcete dialect but also words like ''masoli (masli)'' for "fish" instead of ''nishtem'', e.g. ''"{{transl\|kok\|Dongrari fulo nam, doriant masli pun nam}}"''.
