crasis

The crasis is very important and can completely change the meaning of a sentence, for example:

If, with replacement, the definite article a ("the") is still possible, then the crasis applies.

An apostrophe may be used for vowel elision or crasis.

In Brazil, the grave accent serves only to indicate the crasis in written text.

In French, the contractions of determiners are often the results of a vocalisation and a crasis.

Synalepha, two syllables becoming one, occurs by elision, crasis, synaeresis, or synizesis.

The generic name is derived from a crasis compound word from the Latin parva ancora (small anchor).

In Portuguese, the grave accent indicates the contraction of two consecutive vowels in adjacent words (crasis).

The specific name is a crasis compound word, taken from Latin, of hamulus (small hook), and the feminine form of feros, "to bear."

In crasis (contraction of two words), when the second word has a rough breathing, the contracted vowel does not take a rough breathing.

If the next word begins with a similar vowel, they merge with it in connected speech, producing a single vowel, possibly long (crasis).

During the Middle Ages in Europe, the Latin term complexio served as the translated form of the Greek word crasis, meaning temperament.

Coronis, the symbol written over a vowel contracted by crasis, was originally an apostrophe after the letter, but today is usually written as a smooth breathing.

Similarly, synalepha most often refers to elision (as in English contraction), but it can also refer to coalescence by other metaplasms: synizesis, synaeresis, or crasis.

'Well, many people find that Subliming in the company of a loved one or just somebody they know is-' 'Do you play Calascenic Crasis?'

The generic name, Pallimnarchus, is derived from a crasis compound word of Pan, Limnos and Archon, which together mean "ruler of all the swamps".

To determine whether the crasis always apply, or whether one may use the contraction à (with an accent) instead of the preposition a (without an accent), one must pay attention to the rules:

The acute and the circumflex accent indicate stress and vowel height, the grave accent indicates crasis, the tilde represents nasalization, and the cedilla marks the result of a historical palatalization.
