"|" unexplained

[edit]

The article has 172 appearances of this character. Here's the first: Zieliński established that a Ciceronian clausula had two parts: a "base", generally a cretic | – u – | or a variation on it, But the cretic article, linked here, does not explain it, and I can't find an explanation elsewhere in the article. Maybe it's familiar to those who are already familiar with prosody, but not everyone is. (I'm not.) So the notation ought to be explained. Omc (talk) 19:03, 6 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

/ˈkɒmətə/

[edit]

A bit misleading that we're shown the English pronunciation here, not the Latin one, but why show the pronunciation for this particular word anyway? 184.162.250.229 (talk) 19:04, 17 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
