Re: Maori IDN .nz domains

When they say "hyphenated vowels" they actually mean vowels with "macrons" over them to differentiate the short and long vowels.

If I remember the story correctly, the Maori words for money and clitoris are a macron away from being confused when written down.


I think Latvian uses the same?
