    The hooks are used to indicate nasal vowels as indicated from
    http://members.tripod.com/~DeneFont/tech.htm where 'lower case nasal
    "a"' mentioned in the text can be seen on the charts as _a_ with the hook.

    This fits a normal convention in American linguistics to use ogonek to
    signify a nasal.
