a vowel with no colour

Does the ending have a u in it?

graft: letter 5
Writtenpistachio

pi-STASH-ee-oh

No, it has an i. The last two syllables run together into ee-oh and the letters behind them are i and o, in that order, both inherited from the Italian ending. A u in that position would be silent and pointless, which is exactly why it does not appear.
