The following information has failed Wiktionary's verification process.

Failure to be verified means that insufficient eligible citations of this usage have been found, and the entry therefore does not meet Wiktionary inclusion criteria at the present time.

RFV for the sense "A ligature representing the Latin o + u." See #ᴕ for context. I'm so meta even this acronym (talk) 00:56, 17 April 2013 (UTC)Reply

There's this (see p. 237 top), which asserts that it is "commonly used", and this, which asserts "common practice". But I can't find any uses, per se. It seems to all be in the context of Native American recording. Hyarmendacil (talk) 06:54, 17 April 2013 (UTC)Reply
I can confirm that a liguature of o and u has been used in recording Abenaki and other native American languages, but I don't have time to check which unicode character best encodes it. - -sche (discuss) 17:22, 17 April 2013 (UTC)Reply
It's not a ou ligature; it's a ου ligature. See http://www.tlg.uci.edu/~opoudjis/unicode/other_ligatures.html and w:Ou (ligature). I suppose if we could find electronic use of Ȣ for an ou ligature (?!?), I'd have to accept it (but argue for a proscribed note) but even if we can find a printed ou ligature, I'd argue it's not Unicode character Ȣ, unless it really was using an Algonquin letter.--Prosfilaes (talk) 10:31, 18 April 2013 (UTC)Reply
