A word the analyze tab doesn't recognize

[A Walker Scott]

I'm trying to do analysis on a text, and everything is working well, until I get to this one word--kuzǝ. It's in the lexicon. But it won't show up in the analysis. That tab insists there is no such word. What's going on?

The schwa in your word is U+01DD (LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED E). Is that the same character as your lexicon is using? Or might the lexicon be using U+0259 (LATIN SMALL LETTER SCHWA)?

If that doesn't address the problem, could you include more information about the lexicon entry?

Thanks,
David

FWIW:
-------
Ǝ ǝ (turned E or reversed E) is an additional letter of the Latin
alphabet used in African languages using the Pan-Nigerian alphabet. The
minuscule is based on a rotated e and the capital form majuscule Ǝ,
based on a reversed (mirrored) majuscule E.

It is not to be confused with U+2203 ∃ THERE EXISTS, the existential
quantifier used in logic, or with U+0259 ə LATIN SMALL LETTER SCHWA
(uppercase Ə), which is used as a phonetic symbol and as a letter in
Latin-based orthographies, such as Azerbaijani and the General Alphabet
of Cameroon Languages.
------

Re the "It [lower case] is not to be confused..." Yeah, right. The
glyph on the page the above quote comes from
(https://codepoints.net/U+01dd) and the lower case schwa
(https://codepoints.net/U+0259) are identical in the Noto Sans font, and
on Unicode's own web page
(https://util.unicode.org/UnicodeJsps/character.jsp?a=01DD and =0259
respectively).

Yeah, I solved the problem by copy-pasing the same character into all instances. I had different, visually identical character in the lexicon from the one in the text. Gah!
