What about Irish?

[edit]

Irish, due to an extremely conservative spelling, has lots of multigraphs and the only known hexagraphs. Can't we look for heptagraphs? 142.254.60.222 (talk) 02:08, 22 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Morse code?

[edit]

The Morse code example doesn't seem relevant at all. The symbol   ▄ ▄ ▄ ▄▄▄ ▄ ▄ ▄▄▄  consists of seven code elements, but the lead defines heptagraph as a sequence of seven letters. The symbol in question would be called a digraph using the nomenclature from Morse code article for it can be interpreted as two letters run together: SX (even though one could perhaps argue it can be equivalently described as EEETEET). Relaxing the definition of heptagraph too much would make it useless. For example, one wouldn't want to consider something like a sinograph to be a heptagraph just because it's made of 7 strokes. – MwGamera (talk) 12:33, 6 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
