Hi, I agree with your statement that ə is not a Slovene letter. Hence, the title is 'pehati'. However, if you take a look at Wiktionary:About Slovene, it is stated that "In the headword line, inflection tables and links to synonyms, derived terms or cognates in etymologies of other languages, the tonal orthography is used. It is more precise and gives more information than the stress orthography. Additionally, the symbol ⟨ə⟩ is used to indicate the schwa, and ⟨ł⟩ is used to indicate where the letter ⟨l⟩ is written but /ʋ/ is pronounced." This is done because those changes are not indicated in writing, but they can be differentiated if written like that. I know that this is different from what is found in SSKJ or pravopis, but it is firmly established both on Wikipedia and Wiktionary so foreign speakers faster determine the right pronunciation. In this example, I would keep the headword as it is, or rather also add the nowadays more common pronunciation with /e/ rather than /ə/. If you have any further questions, please seek answers on Wiktionary:About Slovene, or write on my talk page. Garygo golob (talk) 20:44, 27 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
