háček (pluralháčeksorháčky)

  1. (orthography and typography) Acaron; adiacritical mark (ˇ) usually resembling an invertedcircumflex, but in the cases ofď,Ľ,ľ, andť resembling anapostrophe () instead.
    • 1948, Bohumil Emil Mikula,Progressive Czech (Bohemian)[1], page 6:
      The caret (ˇ),háček, is used over the following consonants:c,d,n,t,r,s, andz to indicate the soft sound.
    • 1951,Hans Jakob Polotsky,Notes on Gurage Grammar[2], page 5:
      Linguistic forms had to be set in ordinary roman type and the capital C of Cäxa had to be left without aháček.
    • 1956,Morris Halle, editor,ForRoman Jakobson[3], page332:
      Good TeutonicKitsch looks rather forlorn and out of place wearing a Bohemianháček over its shrunken hind quarters. But the high traditions of scholarship must be maintained, and on these pages Meester Kitsch will masquerade as Mr. Kič.
    • 1966, Charles Ernest Bazellet al., editors,In Memory ofJ.R. Firth[4], page205:
      In the system used here and elsewhere in this article for Bantu tone, low syllables are unmarked, high syllables have an acute accent, and rising syllables ahaček respectively; thus a, á, ǎ.
    • 1991, Peter Hugh Reed,American Record Guide[5], LIV:ii, page69:
      The printer had nohatchek — the flattened “v” that appears over letters in Czech — to put over Dvořak’s R. So somebody laboriously inked in all thehatcheks.
    • 2002, Torbjörn Lundmark,QuirkyQWERTY[6], page34:
      háček used to signify the third tone ( — ‘five’)
    • 2005, Stavroula Varella,Language Contact and the Lexicon in the History of Cypriot Greek[7], page46:
      Another orthographic practice[] was developed[] in the twentieth century: this is the adoption of thehacek for the representation of the Cypriot postalveolar fricatives and affricates, which are otherwise not distinguished by the normal characters of the Greek alphabet alone. It was not until very recently, therefore, that the spellings <σ̌>, <τσ̌>, <ζ̌> and <τζ̌>, for [ʃ], [tʃ], [ʒ] and [dʒ] respectively, became available.
    • 2006, Mary Betik Trojacek,Beyond Ellis Island[8], page17:
      My father always wrote Bětik with a little “v” calledhaĉek, above the “e”; Marušaks placed thehaĉek above the “s”.

Synonyms

a survey of other sources’ coverages

A survey of eleven other lexicographical sources reveals thatLookWAYup andVocabulary.com fully definewedge in the relevant sense, whilstDictionary.com and theRandom House Unabridged Dictionary (1997) give the typographic-cum-orthographic sense the one-word gloss “haček”, andWordNet 3.0 codefines it withháček; the six other sources, namely theAmerican Heritage Dictionary, theCollins English Dictionary, theCompact Oxford English Dictionary,Dictionarist.com, theOxford English Dictionary [2nd ed., 1989], and theUltraLinguaEnglish Dictionary, all omit this sense ofwedge. All eleven sources list and defineháček. Not one of the sources lists an entry forčiriklo,clicka,inverted caret,inverted circumflex,inverted hat,mäkčeň,palatal hook, orstrešica; neither does any of them include the relevant sense in any of their entries forcaret,chevron,hat,hook, orwing.
