Long i
Not to be confused with palochka.
Long i, ⟨ꟾ⟩, transcribes a long i-vowel /iː/ in Latin. It stands in for the apex used on other the long vowels: ⟨á é ó v́⟩ /aː eː oː uː/. An example is lv́ciꟾ·a·filiꟾ, which in modern rendition would be lūciī a filiī, with a macron rather than apex to indicate vowel length.
