EN: apostrophe
The 'tudlik' is that tiny little comma floating in the air, like in "rock 'n' roll" or when you shorten 'at saka' to 'tsaka'. It's the grammar ninja that signals a missing letter. In the age of autocorrect, the humble tudlik is often forgotten, but it's a mark of a true wordsmith.
While 'kudlit' is more common for apostrophe, 'tudlik' is a more technical or literary term. It can also encompass other diacritics.
