when toggle format what by license comment
Apr 18, 2018 at 7:02 comment added Bjørn While agreeing that -aŭ is part of the root, I would like to point out that many people writing poetry in Esperanto (myself included) have occasionally replaced it by an apostrophe: ank’, anstat’ etc. As says tekstoj.nl/esperanto/konsiloj.htm: ”Kelkaj eksperimentis pri la elizio de -aŭ (ankor', kvaz')”. Yes, I know this is artistic license at its crudest (violating the basic grammar), but I can understand where it is coming from: Appearing in the unaccented end position of a few very frequent words and sharing sonic qualities with -o, -aŭ kind of feels like a suffix. :-)
