I just discovered (as a result of this) that I can represent using archaic :
(G) О -> (prophase) Ꙩ-> (Metaphase) Ꙫ-> (Telophase) Ꙭ -> ꙨꙨ (Cytokinesis)

I went to the Word Slavic Writing Museum and saw my favorite letter Ѯ (ksi). Peter the Great later got rid of it in his Civil Script. The text in the image explains its origins from the ξ, which in its turn comes from the 𐤎 (Samekh). It's not known for sure what Samekh means but the speculated meaning relates to something you lean against, like a pole.

Hi nerds.

I was just wondering, how would I convert my name to while still preserving the pronounciation?

The IPA transcription for "Ewan" is /júən/, so how would you convert it? "Юан"?

Don't ask me why i'm asking, i'm just bored lol 🤷‍♂️

So I use English "hot" as a mnemonic for готувати /hotuvatɪ/ "to cook".

But for a word like елегантний /elehantni/ "elegant", it's more helpful to my memory to remember that "Гг" is /g/ in Russian. It also matches the uppercase for Greek "Γγ", which has been used for /g/, /ɣ/, /ŋ/, and probably others across times and environments.

I am definitely a learner of Ukrainian, not a linguistic expert in it.

@celrydoor Oh, it's almost certainly my error. My transcriptions are tentative and based entirely on what I can infer from the Duolingo speech samples. They definitely have hints of velar place and of voicing, so I suspect /ɣ/.

That's as a linguist.

As a language learner, I'm anchoring to phonemes I know from English and French where possible. In my head, г is "/h/ with a Ukrainian accent".

@Neverfadingwood

The Cyrillic "Гг" also matches uppercase Greek gamma "Γ", which was historically /g/ but has undergone a process called lenition or spirantization. It is now pronounced with a sound that linguists actually represent in the with lowercase Greek gamma /ɣ/. It sounds to English ears a bit like a voiced "h", so there is at least a superficial parallel between Ukrainian and Greek.

Le problème avec les vieux trucs dans des pays où l'écriture à changé, c'est qu'en plus de la typographie pourrie, on a un alphabet qu'on comprend pas :p
C'est joli quand même.
