Ce'Nedra is one of the rare cases where the apostrophe is justified. Legolas Send a noteboard - 19/09/2010 04:16:51 PM
Of course, as a student of Arabic, I think using an apostrophe to indicate a glottal stop is perfectly acceptable in names, but sometimes one does wonder if authors have any logical reason for putting that apostrophe in that particular place.
