Talk:Bouma

Question
What is this "parallel letterwise recognition" model? Is there an article on it? 71.247.145.175 17:45, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

Pronunciation
The pronunciation "bowma" is not very helpful. Consider "bow" as in "bowtie" and "bow" as in "bow of a ship". -- Coneslayer 21:50, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't know which it is, but I can give the IPA for both so that someone who does can copy paste it in. Bow as in bowtie would be and bow as in the bow of a ship would be . - Zeibura (Talk) 20:53, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
