The apostrophe is standard and preferred. Some people like to use an "h" instead, and this is a semi-standard variant. And Rosta likes to omit it altogether, using an "h" when ambiguity would result: he writes "ba'a" as "baa", "ba'i" as "bahi". Naturally, one sometimes seems mixed text, because some articles contain text from different sources. -- John Cowan cowan@ccil.org e'osai ko sarji la lojban.
