Replaceable by an entry -'s, similar to English (= ), German,  (= )? --Magic Ivan (talk) 06:08 + 18:42, 27 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Similar to as being a contraction of is, but not really similar to . One advantage of a new entry  is that it will also cover the (easily attestable) forms,  and . However, I see no need to delete the existing entries. They are similar to  and .  --Lambiam 08:53, 27 November 2018 (UTC)
 * At the risk of getting off-topic: I've created quite a few English contraction entries myself, but this makes me wonder why we have them. Isn't the 's of "here's" just as widely applicable as possessive 's, i.e. can't any word take an elided is? "Writing's easy. Conjugating's harder. Cat's in the house. Jacob's leaving. Sweden's cold." , etc. Do we have some policy on which ones to include, the way we do on possessives? - -sche (discuss) 06:40, 11 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep as creator. As Lambiam pointed out, we have such entries in English. It makes even more sense to have them for Afrikaans, where (at least as far as I know) is not used on any old word, but principally on pronouns and certain adverbs. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 20:19, 27 November 2018 (UTC)
