Usage notes
When transliterating katakana writing into latin alphabet, ku can be written with = or -. Those signs are used to show the distinction between the person marker and the noun it is attached to. They don't impact the pronunciation of a sentence as they don't have a phonetical value.
In some Ainu dialects. ク can be shortened to ㇰ (k) when the verb coming before starts with the vowels /a/, /e/, /o/ and /u/ as stated in the second example. This phenomenon doesn't occur before the vowel /i/.

Category:Japanese lemmas#くCategory:Japanese terms with redundant sortkeys#くCategory:Japanese syllables#くCategory:Japanese entries with incorrect language header#くCategory:Pages with entries#クCategory:Pages with 2 entries#ク- The katakana syllable ク (ku). Its equivalent in hiragana is く (ku). It is the eighth syllable in the gojūon order; its position is カ行ウ段 (ka-gyō u-dan, “row ka, section u”).
Usage notes
The katakana syllabary is used primarily for transcription of foreign language words into Japanese and the writing of gairaigo (loan words), as well as to represent onomatopoeias, technical and scientific terms, and the names of plants, animals, and minerals. It is also occasionally used in some words for emphasis, or to ease reading; katakana may be preferred for words becoming buried in the text if they are written under their canonical form in hiragana. Names of Japanese companies, as well as certain Japanese language words such as colloquial terms, are also sometimes written in katakana rather than the other systems. Formerly, female first names would often be written in katakana.
