what is this Ø?

[xiongrey]

I have seen it many times but There isn't anywhere that I can find on here that tells me what it is and how to pronounce it. help?

[pxitukru]

In math it would be the symbol for diameter...

I dont know if it has a meaning in na'vi

where did u see that


maybe ur font is messing some other symbol ?

[omängum fra'uti]

It's saying that if there is lenition, a ' (Glottal stop) is just dropped, so there is no pronunciation.

Ah! ok Thank you! I had a feeling so but some of the worksheets that I downloaded had a lot of them so I started to think that they had an actual sound...

Or the empty set. Here it's used to represent the empty string.

I believe that in IPA (phonetics) that it's a glottal stop, however it can also be used to represent the absence of something (like an affix), such as in the Na'vi worksheets.

I thought the IPA glottal stop was ʔ

[Taronyu]

The IPA for glottal stop is ʔ

The Ø is the old type-writer mark for zero. I didn't want to use 0, because it can be confused with O.

This means that there is no ending.

Well, I'm glad I wasn't betting on my IPA (which is crap). Carry on.

HERE: http://www.learnnavi.org/docs/Linguistic-terminology-crash-course.pdf

under the table in Lenition

it states:

Before Plural Marker	After Plural Marker
'	Ø

[Taronyu]

Yeah. it means the glottal stop is deleted.
