No, none of these would split. In the current TR29, apostrophe never splits; in my proposed change, it only splits when it is *followed* by a "vowel". > Are these separate words or aren't they? :-) I guess it depends on what you mean by "word". Some dictionaries have entries for things like "we'll" or "don't", some don't. _ Marco
