Letter

Usage notes
The letter H/h (like F/f, and O/o representing [o], [oː] instead of [uə̯]) is found only in words of foreign origin (borrowings). Note that it represents the sound of IPA [x] (like 🇨🇬, ), not (as in most other alphabets based on the Latin script) the sound of IPA [h].

Pronunciation

 * Silent in most native words.

Letter

 * 1) The fourteenth letter of the Lushootseed alphabet, pronounced as a voiceless glottal fricative.

Etymology
Continues. In pre-modern Maltese, h still produces the sound as recorded by  (1750) and  (1796). The early contemporary variant was first found in the dialect of lsien tal-bliet (“tongues of the cities”, referring to the cities around the Grand Harbour according to Vassalli) which eventually superceded the increasingly archaic sound in the neighborhing areas.

Usage notes

 * In contemporary Maltese, h remains a true consonant in the following cases:
 * in word-final position or when being the last radical of a verb:,  ;
 * before the negative ending : ;
 * in the clusters -għh-, -ħh-, -hh-, which all become.
 * Otherwise it is silent or leaves only a vocalic trace:
 * Following and preceding a, e, o are lengthened if stressed:,  . Other vowels are not affected.
 * In intervocalic position it is a glide, after i, ie, and  after u: ,.
 * The sequence -aho- becomes : . The sequence -ehi- becomes  or : ,.
 * On the other hand in pre-modern Maltese dialects that preserved the guttaral sounds, h remained as a true consonant with the aspirated and soft sound of in all positions except:
 * If word final h is an affixed pronoun:,  ,.
 * Phonotactically, word-initial now generally behaves like a vowel, allowing contractions such as  . However, word-internal  still behaves like a (virtual) consonant. Compare for example   with , which latter is formed as though the l were followed by a consonant.

Usage notes

 * When written before j, the h becomes silent.

Pronunciation

 * ; if voiced

Usage notes

 * Seemingly native words spelt with ⟨h⟩ (rather than ⟨ch⟩) are generally from Czech or other Slavic dialects. Otherwise ⟨h⟩ occurs in loanwords, especially from German. Some southern speakers distinguish between and, but this is not part of standard Polish.

Usage notes
Preposition h is a form of preposition that appears before words that start with  or  while other form is used for all other words. In "correct" pronunciation, the preposition does not form its own syllable, but binds to the first syllable of the next word and has therefore two pronunciations: if word starts with  and  if word starts with. In colloquial speech, this form (or at least its pronunciation) are also used with words starting with other letters.

 * Abecedario pronunciation is from.

The use of $⟨k⟩$ instead of using the Spanish-based $⟨c⟩$ and $⟨q⟩$ was promoted in the late 19th century primarily by the educated (such as and ) because of the Baybayin character primarily being applicable to all vowels, as well as the ease of usage with Tagalog grammar rules. Its order in the Abakada alphabet was due to the order of the similar sounding $⟨c⟩$ in the Spanish alphabet.

Etymology 1
Often suggested to be cognate to 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬; however, more recent scholarship disputes this on phonological grounds, as Egyptian is not held to regularly correspond with Semitic  by either the traditional school of Egyptian comparison or the Rösslerian school.

 * 8) in a state of
 * 9) in the capacity of, in the role of, as, being
 * 10) together with, along with

Usage notes
This preposition is often used with definition 9 to indicate temporary identity, so, for example,   (“the man is a poor man”) implies that this a temporary, rather than an eternal or generally true, state. Egyptian generally has an expansive view of what counts as a temporary identity compared to English.

Alternative forms
When the object of the preposition is an attached suffix pronoun, the adverbial form is used instead.

Etymology 2
Possibly originally a verb form, an imperative meaning ‘see’.

Particle

 * 1)  behold, lo, look
 * 2)  whether, although
 * 1)  whether, although

Usage notes
This particle must introduce a sentence. In Middle Egyptian, it is usually followed by an attached second-person suffix pronoun, such as, , , or , indicating the person being addressed; after this comes the subject, in the form of a nominal subject, a demonstrative pronoun, or a dependent pronoun. In Old Egyptian, a dependent pronoun could be used instead of a suffix pronoun, reflecting the word’s origins as an imperative.

Etymology 1
The actual reading of this word is uncertain, as it is always written as an ideogram, but evidence from Coptic suggests the original was. The extension in meaning to ‘part, piece, fraction’ might be either by way of a mouthful being used as a standard share in some distribution of food or goods, or else extended from its meaning of ‘opening’ > ‘division’.

Usage notes
Following Sethe, it has often been suggested that should also be taken to mean ‘one third’ as a reading of the sign  (questionably attested in hieroglyphs proper), extrapolating backward from the dual form ; however, such a usage remains uncertain, and the reading of the form  argues against the interpretation of  in  as specifically meaning a third.

Inflection
In the sense of ‘mouth’ the plural is rare, as the singular is usually used even in reference to the mouths of multiple people.

The senses relating to ‘opening, doorway’ sometimes carry different determinatives:

The sense ‘water’s edge’ is similarly sometimes found with a different determinative:

Usage notes

 * As for other Romance languages, such as Neapolitan or Portuguese, Sicilian definite articles have undergone a consonant lenition that has led to the phonetic fall of the initial l. The use of this illiquid variant has not yet made the use of liquid variants disappear, but today it is still the prevalent use in speech and writing.
 * In the case of the production of literary texts, such as singing or poetry, or of formal and institutional texts, resorting to "liquid articles" and "liquid articulated prepositions" confers greater euphony to the text, although it may sound a form of courtly recovery.

Appendix talk:Index/Japanese/そ

We should not blindly use the short form for any 'ou'. For example, 添う (so u ) is a verb. It could be in (inflected?) forms like '添います' (so imasu ), '添わない' (so wanai ), '添わなかった' (so wanakatta ), etc., just like other verbs. This is differ than 層 which is never changed. The same rule should apply for 吸う (suu), 思う (omou), 拾う (hirou), 誘う (sasou) etc. Also we should not use short form for 'ii' in the case of adjective, for example: やさしい (yasashi i ), 新しい (atarashi i ). These could be in forms like yasashi kunai, atarashi kunai , respectively.

 * Yep, could be taken as argument but I thought it might be better if the romanizations is consistent. Also using two different romanizations for the same kana might be seen as like they would be pronounced differently.

I think it is consistent that 買う romanized as kau and 思う as omou. You then have ka u → ka wanai, omo u → omo wanai.

 * Change it back if you want, you're likely much more knowlegded what's better than me. I just wanted to give my thoughts regarding this. :-)

OK, I will edit it back. Actually, I also want to discuss about whether to use circumflex or macron. For years in Japan, I have never found any romanization using circumflex here in my everyday life -- I think. They usually used macron for places, stations, etc. But it could be only because I have missed it. Anyway. Just keep making contributions. Cheers :-) Petruk 14:38 Jul 28, 2003 (UTC)
