Apostrophe

An apostrophe was a punctuation mark.

Many Vulcan female names, such as T'Pol, when transliterated into the English alphabet were spelled with apostrophes. Some Klingons, such as T'vis and T'Kuvma, also had apostrophes in their names. In 2380, Beckett Mariner remarked that all their names sounded the same, partially due to the commonly used apostrophe. (LD: "Envoys")

Some Bajoran names also had apostrophes in them, such as Ches'sarro Seeto's. In 2370, while trying to jog Rom's memory, Odo asked the Ferengi whether the mark he recalled in the Bajoran's name was an apostrophe. Rom agreed, identifying the individual (tentatively) as "Ches'so". (DS9: "Necessary Evil")
