  2. (chiefly poetic)Used to indicate omission of the final-o of nominative singular nouns.
    • 1891,L. L. Zamenhof, translated by L. L. Zamenhof,La Espero [The Hope]:
      Ne al glavo sangon soifanta / ĝi la homan tiras familion: / al la mond' eterne militanta / ĝi promesas sanktan harmonion.
      Not to a bloodthirsty sword / does it draw the human family: / to the eternally fightingworld / it promises sacred harmony.

Usage notes

[edit]
  • Never pronounced.
  • When the final-o is replaced by an apostrophe, the word is stressed in the syllable that was the penultimate before the omission, thus the new final syllable.
  • Almost exclusively used in poetry and proverbs. In ordinary language it is barely used, and many Esperantists might even not understand it.
  • The apostrophe itself is sometime omitted by some poets, but this is considered non-standard and may create confusion.
