Some ʻokinas are wrong

[ftyers]

Enclosed please find list of entries I consider incorrect: in Uzbek orthography, only two letters can be followed by the "inverted comma" diacritic (i.e., "o" and "g"). Will you please amend the lexicon.

Should [ae]ʻ be [ae]’ ?

[vladob54]

Here are the respective paragraphs from Wikipedia dealing with the subject:

---

When the Uzbek language is written using the Latin script, the letters Oʻ (Cyrillic Ў) and Gʻ (Cyrillic Ғ) are properly rendered using the character U+02BB ʻ MODIFIER LETTER TURNED COMMA[9], which is also known as the ʻokina. However, since this character is absent from most keyboard layouts (except for the Hawaiian keyboard in Windows 8, or above, computers) and many fonts, most Uzbek websites – including some operated by the Uzbek government[2] – use either U+2018 ‘ LEFT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK or straight (typewriter) single quotes to represent these letters.

The modifier letter apostrophe (ʼ) (tutuq belgisi) is used to mark the phonetic glottal stop when it is put immediately before a vowel in borrowed words, as in sanʼat (art). The modifier letter apostrophe is also used to mark a long vowel when placed immediately after a vowel, as in maʼno (meaning).[10] Since this character is also absent from most keyboard layouts, many Uzbek websites use U+2019 ’ RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK instead.

Currently most typists do not bother with the differentiation between the modifier letter turned comma and modifier letter apostrophe as their keyboard layouts likely accommodate only the straight apostrophe.

Thus., U+02BB ʻ (MODIFIER LETTER TURNED COMMA) should be used after O/o/G/g, and U+02BC ʼ (MODIFIER LETTER APOSTROPHE) in all other cases.

Can you look at 3102b67, does this solve the problem?

It seems some of the others were fixed in https://github.com/apertium/apertium-uzb/commit/4002f9a7b56532ab2382a98b3122046e16775666 and https://github.com/apertium/apertium-uzb/commit/08ca490c43f8bfdc3fd731be45bdeeb7977b0b0b.
