glide coalescing[edit]
@Octahedron80, CodeCat, ZxxZxxZ, I don't know about Octahedron80's recent change to convert ii to y and uu to v. I know it's part of Bartholomae's system, but they are a distinct method of writing glides that already exist. If they both exist, I think we should leave them separate. Could we discuss it a bit? —JohnC5 16:02, 12 October 2016 (UTC)
- I see many vocabulary turn i-i into y and u-u into v. Example [1]. And Avestan script form I got from teradict (look for ave-003) that is the same spelling. I notice that the y (𐬫) and v (𐬬) letters are used only the beginning of the word; elsewhere uses i-i (𐬌𐬌) and u-u (𐬎𐬎) but serving the same sound. Converting these also make sense to Indian terms. --Octahedron80 (talk) 16:06, 12 October 2016 (UTC)
- PS. I use the font 'Noto Sans Avestan'. I am creating some vocab at th.wikt. --Octahedron80 (talk) 16:11, 12 October 2016 (UTC)
- I was unaware that they are in strict complementary distribution. I worry, however, that this will lead people to use y (𐬫) and v (𐬬) internally. Also, sources like
{{R:ine:Cheung2007}}and{{R:ine:LIV}}do distinguish the two. —JohnC5 17:35, 12 October 2016 (UTC)

Unicode-supported letters for <sup><small>[edit]
Hi. What's the reasoning behind using HTML tags to render superscripts instead of modifier letters? Was this module made before they were added to Unicode? Now they could be replaced for ⁱ, ᵘ, ᵊ, and have them render correctly when copied and pasted. Cheers, sware • 🗣 • 🏲 17:31, 6 August 2023 (UTC)
- 1. Searchability, 2. they are academic, not transcriptional. --
