Property Value
dbo:abstract
  • This article describes two- and three-letter combinations (so-called digraphs and trigraphs) used for the Mongolian language when written in the Mongolian script. * The doubled vowels ii, uu, and üü mark these out as long. Doubled oo is instead both used in a few words to mark the vowel as short, and to distinguish it from u. * Most of the i's of these diphthongs derive from an earlier yi, but is no longer recognized as such. This origin can be seen in the doubled long teeth of earlier ᠰᠠᠶᠢᠨ⟨?⟩ sayin 'good' having become ᠰᠠᠢᠨ⟨?⟩ sain, but it also appears with the single form of i as in ᠳᠠᠯᠠᠢ dalai 'sea'. (en)
