History: apostropheless alternative orthographies

Source of version: 3

Including: #The apostrophe is supplanted with ''h'', in cases of ambiguity, and eliminated, when not ambiguous with VV in grammatical Lojban. A downside to this scheme is firstly that /'/ is not only [[h] or an assimilated variety thereof, but also [[T] (th), and secondly that <h> may be required as an allograph of <x>. A (never-used) solution might be to use <q> instead. #Deleting all apostrophes and respelling i and u in diphthongs with y and w. (This then makes h available as an allograph of x.) An objection to this is that the dual use of y (sometimes representing [[@] and sometimes [[j]) violates ((audio-visual isomorphism)). #((Mark Shoulson)) ''still'' likes the idea of permitting __h__ as an allograph of __'__. It's easy to read and hard to miss or mistake. Especially handy in manuscript. This is distinct from ((And Rosta))'s orthographies, in that this is the ''only'' change advocated. ''Indeed, this is the only viable option is certain computer environments, for example, where __'__ is not allowed.'' ** ((Jay Kominek)) likes it too, thinks the __'__ is silly, but mostly keeps it to himself, because it doesn't affect the way anything works. ** Or at least where use of __'__ is horribly complicated, as __'__ has a lot of meaning attached to it. ** ((kreig.daniyl.)) prefers to pronounce ' as /T/, so he doesn't like using h. However, he wonders how one italicizes just an apostrophe on wiki...
