Documentation for Template:crk-cans-merge. [edit]
This page contains usage information, categories, interwiki links and other content describing the template.

This template should be used when two characters are to be merged into one Plains Cree syllabic. It has two parameters:

|1= the preceding character
|2= the succeding character

For example, if one has the prefix k- (ᐠ), and they want to merge it with the vowel a (ᐊ), the following code is to be used:

{{crk-cans-merge|ᐠ|ᐊ}}

Which yields the syllabic ᑲ.

Examples[edit]

{{crk-cans-merge|ᐨ|ᐁ}} (c|ê) gives ᒉ (cê)
{{crk-cans-merge|ᑊ|ᐓ}} (p|wo) gives ᑁ (pwo)
{{crk-cans-merge|ᐣ|ᐏ}} (n|wi) gives ᓂ (ni); this is because the combinations nwi, nwo, nwî, nwô don't exist in Cree.
{{crk-cans-merge|ᐢ|ᐤ}} (s|w) gives ᐢᐤ (s-w); two consonants can't be merged in Syllabics.
{{crk-cans-merge|ᐤ|ᐏ}} (w|wi) gives ᐤᐏ (w-wi); a w can't merge with another w.
{{crk-cans-merge|ᑐ|ᐁ}} (to|ê) gives ᑐᐁ (to-ê); two different vowels can't merge.
