The accents distinguish the different vowels.
Acute - simple (like Spanish)
Two dots (I don't know the name) - nasalized
Circumflex - dipthong
and I have lonely litte "a" with a circle over it.  It
sounds like the a in father.

`r, -d, ny, ts, yl and all distinct phonemes.

Efferent and Afferent just tell you where the action
is going in relation to the speaker (not the subject,
note).

Efferent means the action is going out from the
speaker.
I give you (efferent) a cake.

Afferent means the action is going from the outside to
the speaker.
You give me (afferent) a cake.  Notice, the is not so
contingent on the subject of the sentence as the
speaker.

Juggling the person and voice makes some interesting
literary devices.
I give Ana (afferent) a cake.  Here, I am the subject,
but the voice is afferent, meaning the action is
coming to me.  It is like I projecting my feelings
into Ana.
