In MLT, the apostrophe is mainly used as a syllable separator -- required when removal makes finding syllable boundaries incorrect or impossible (starting from the right). They 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.
In "unjoined" MLT, the apostrophe delimits adjacent syllables and implies the tone sandhi process will modify the left syllable.
