text: in the Chinese Pinyin romanization, the apostrophe ( ' , 隔音符號, géyīn fúhào, 'syllable-dividing mark') is used before a syllable starting with a vowel (a, o, or e) in a multiple-syllable word when the syllable does not start the word (which is most commonly realized as [ɰ] ), unless the syllable immediately follows a hyphen or other dash.
