For upper case apostrophe= , I'll give the example of the name of selma'o {KOhA} (again, brace= s are "quotes"). It is derrived from {ko'a}. So, as 'K= 9; is capital 'k', 'h' is capital apostrophe.

Are you saying that left-brace is sort of a letter? What do you mean b= y upper apostrophe, or whatever?=A0

Just to ad= d something, 'h' is the upper case version of the apostrophe (both = called {.y'y.}). This really only ever occurs in selma'o names, tho= ugh it is very common in these.

It is called a "half letter" sometimes for various= reasons. Matt explained how it only appears between vowels, and is unique = in this respect (commas, if I remember correctly, can be used next to sylla= bic consonants - but that's unimportant). The apostrophe also has no ef= fect on morphology: CVV and CV'V syllables behave identically (other th= an having different meanings). Finally, it is counted almost literally as h= alf a letter in the lujvo scoring algorithm. "Something that acts as h= alf a letter", I suppose someone thought, "should have 'half&= #39; a glyph, pe'a".

I found out that in Lojban, there's apparently = no h. How is that so, when the apostrophe is practically the h?
