''iu'' and ''ui'' are ambiguous, since they may either be used for rising diphthongs (/ju/ and /wi/ respectively) or falling diphthongs (/iw/ and /uj/ respectively). In general, they represent rising diphthongs unless the first vowel is accented. ''iw'' and ''uy'' always represent falling diphthongs. | |||
