-In [[MLT]], the '''{{w|apostrophe}}''' is mainly used as a syllable separator. It is required when removal makes finding syllable boundaries incorrect, difficult, or impossible (starting from the right). Apostrophes may be omitted when the syllables would still be discerned, or left in place for better readability. We have not found clear rules to govern this process for all cases. Here are a few cases from the EDUTECH website where the apostrophe is sometimes left in place: {{x|chviaf'mng}}, {{x|cid'ee}}, and {{x|tøf'ui}} (for {{x|chviafmng}}, {{x|cidee}}, and {{x|tøfui}}, respectively).
+In [[MLT]], the '''{{w|apostrophe}}''' is mainly used as a syllable separator. It is used between two letters from adjacent syllables, usually to stop the letter on the left from joining the syllable on the right. In many cases, it is fine to omit the separator. In other cases, omitting it will make finding syllable boundaries incorrect, difficult, or impractical. There is a gray area where an apostrophe could be omitted and the syllables would still be discerned, but is left in place for better readability. We have not found clear rules to govern this process for all cases.
