Capitalization problems with a digraph that starts with a glottal (saltillo)

Question

I have a project where they have a digraph with the following lower/upper case pair:

ꞌy/ꞌY

The character at the beginning of both forms of the digraph is a saltillo (U+A78C).

We aren’t allowed to put lower/upper case pairs of multigraphs in the Alphabetical Order list for some reason (see Paratext help). So that means we can’t define the upper case form of this digraph. And then all of the capitalization checks in Paratext give errors (e.g. capital after end of sentence punctuation).

What’s the best way to handle this, without having to deny a lot of errors? It seems like putting the saltillo by itself in the Alphabetical Order list might help.

Answer 1

Yes, you should add A78C to the language settings. Note that this will cause all the words that start with the glottal to sort together in the Wordlist.

In my tests the issue becomes that Paratext sees words with A78c and a capital as having mixed capitalization. A78C is defined as the lowercase of A78B.

You should be able to use the Mixed Capitalization inventory to approve words that start with the A78C.
