Apostrophes

The writing section of the lessons says:
There is no apostrophe mark in dragon writing. Instead, u'u is spelled with the rune [5] (uu). Thu'um is written as t + h + uu + m ([th5m]), and zu'u is written as z + uu ([Z5]).

Yet, the dictionary entries are the opposite:
Thu'um

Zu'u

Su'um

Should one or the other be ammended?

"In dragon writing" refers specifically to runes. There is indeed no apostrophe equivalent in the runic alphabet, as the very examples that you quote explain.
Edit: disregard the above, question misunderstood.

Hi stevepoppers, thanks for pointing this out. The apostrophes in the dictionary entries are a mistake. I've fixed this so dictionary entries now show the correct runes as explained in the lessons.
