Variable: ethio-quote-vowel-always

ethio-quote-vowel-always is a customizable variable defined in ethio-util.el.gz.

Value

nil

Documentation

Non-nil means always put an apostrophe before an isolated vowel.

This happens in FIDEL --> SERA conversions. Isolated vowels at word beginning do not get an apostrophe put before them. If nil, put an apostrophe only between a 6th-form consonant and an isolated vowel. FIDEL is the Amharic alphabet; SERA (System for Ethiopic Representation in ASCII) is the Latin representation of Ethiopic script.

This variable was added, or its default value changed, in Emacs 28.1.
