Untitled[edit]

I may be mistaken, but the image on the bottom of this wikipedia page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:IPA_lezh.PNG) seems to be incorrect. Is lezh truly the same as hwair (or the IPA lezh the pronunciation of hwair)? it seems that they are two different ligatures, one of H,v and the other L,z ? should this be corrected or am i wrong?

The image on the bottom (lezh) does not belong to the article, it is part of the "language stub" notice. Hwair and Lezh are not in any way related. Jordi·✆ 12:05, 3 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Ligature[edit]

Why is Hwair in the ligature category? Hwair is not a ligature, but a single letter. Ligatures arose from medieaval scripts, Hwair was invented to transcribe a Gothic letter. It is not the same as the Hw ligature. -- Jordi·✆ 08:33, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ƕ is in fact an hv ligature. Ligatures are simply ligations of text. The word implies in no way a Medieval origin. ᛭ LokiClock (talk) 01:25, 22 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Unicode Latin template[edit]

Is this really necessary? It's about twice as long as the article body! — Gwalla | Talk 06:46, 27 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
