diaeresis Brit

English

The unusual use of the diaeresis above the o in her name is said to be a mistake her parents made on her birth certificate. en.wikipedia.org

The opposite process, in which two adjacent vowels are pronounced separately, is known as "diaeresis". en.wikipedia.org

If one of those syllables are stressed, it takes the normal grave accent, and the wowel after it is written normally without needing any diaeresis. en.wikipedia.org

The diaeresis is retained from stage 3, so only the rime letter changes for this tone. en.wikipedia.org
