Diphthongs

Diphthongs are formed by following a vowel with ⟨ι⟩ or ⟨ου⟩ (for /i/ and /u/ respectively). Note that ⟨ϊ⟩ is used instead of ⟨ι⟩ if ⟨ι⟩ would cause confusion with a "false diphthong" (i.e. monophthong written with two vowel letters).

Stress

Primary stress is always indicated in multisyllabic words via an acute accent.

When a "false diphthong" (i.e. αι, ει, οι, υι, αυ, ευ) is stressed, the accent is always written on the second vowel letter.

When a true diphthong is stressed, the accent is written on the nucleus of the diphthong (i.e. the first vowel letter).
