: Re: Elongated vowel sounds When we speak sometimes we draw out certain sounds for emphasis. We also see this technique in song, for both emphasis as well as expanding the meter to make the words

Another approach, from music: perhaps the Repeat Sign from music can be an inspiration en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Repeat_sign
My transcribed knitting patterns look like this:

Sl1, k1, YO, k1, |: k1, YO, S2kPO :| k1, YO, k2

Similarly, I could see someone writing

ok|:a:|y

especially if the repeat sign were done in a lighter line-weight font, to just indicate the repetition.

Since it's almost always a single letter being exaggerated, maybe instead of surrounding it, it could be like a superscript?

oka:|y

Perhaps other musical superscript notation may be useful? I'd love to add the rising or falling tones. There's the long ok that means questioning, or excitement?

oka🎝y
oka🎜y

(I went here to get the code for the notes: unicode-table.com/en/search/?q=note -- use the one starting with ampersand (&) and include the semicolon.)
