Translingual edit

Etymology edit

The character u rotated 90° anticlockwise. The Uralic Phonetic Alphabet makes regular use of 180°-rotation to denote a reduced form of a given sound; where this results in homoglyphy, a character is rotated 90° anticlockwise instead. The reduced form of u is denoted by the 90°-rotated ᴝ, because a 180°-rotated form would be virtually indistinguishable from n

Symbol edit

  1. (UPA) denotes a reduced form of u
