haĉek

== English == === Noun === haĉek (rare, nonstandard) Alternative spelling of háček. 2002, Andrew Zawacki, By Reason of Breakings, poem iv: “Diacritics”, page 28: Ask to be that diver falling haĉek into this wave. 2003 February 24, "Lee Sau Dan" (username), Re: Non-umlaut umlauts (see the original message), in {{{1}}}, Usenet: BTW, Esperanto uses a “breve” on the “u”, i.e. ŭ, not a haĉek. ==== Usage notes ==== The spelling haĉek employs a circumflex, rather than a háček. Use of the letter Ĉ is almost wholly restricted to Esperanto (where it denotes the same sound, [tʃ], that Č does in háček); where haĉek occurs, it may be a conscious Esperantism. This spelling is very rare and, where it occurs, may be regarded as featuring an erroneous inversion of the háček diacritic: ˇ → ˆ. === Anagrams === Cheka, akche, hecka
