| | Ellipsis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | An ellipsis can also be used to indicate a pause in speech, or be used at the end of a sentence to indicate a trailing off into silence. | | | There is also no space between the ellipsis and the preceding word, but there is always a space after ellipsis, unless the next character is a closing bracket or quote mark, in which case the space is used after that character. | | | In Polish language ellipsis (called wielokropek which means multidot) is always composed of three dots without any spaces between. |

| | The Sirionó people of the Llanos de Mojos, Bolivia, speak a Tupi-Guarani language that is more closely related to some Tupi-Guarani languages spoken elsewhere in Bolivia and Paraguay than to those of Eastern Amazonia. | | | Earlier observers mischaracterized the traditional technology of the Sirionó as "hunting-and-gathering" and as one of the most rudimentary in the ethnographically known world. | | | Yet the names of these forest trees in the Sirionó vocabulary, in a statistically significant proportion, seem to be cognate with terms for the same species in numerous other Tupi-Guarani languages, including several of those of eastern Amazonia, by using a comparative method. |
