 When the accent is written on the first letter, the sequence is pronounced as an accented diphthong, for example as in (, "donkey").When the second letter takes a diaeresis, the sequence is often pronounced as a diphthong, for example as in (, "ribs").Finally, when the accent is placed on the second letter together with diaeresis, the vowels are pronounced separately and the second vowel is accented, for example as in (, "paper airplane").
