Full Disclosure

My first conlang has prepostrophes. They're meant to indicate a mark from the language's own writing system, which is used to add inflections to some words. I have considered getting rid of them, but honestly I like them.

It doesn't take much to justify a prepostrophe to me. But then, the same is true of diacritics. It's all in whether they're functional.

There are two things that prepostrophes reflexively bring to mind: the first is when Ursula used to write about B'ob, the second is that text about the purple dinosaur demonic entity Bh'arnee.
