''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, unless the first vowel is accented, they represent rising diphthongs. An exception is ''ui'' before ''t'', which represents /uj/. ''iw'' and ''uy'' always represent falling diphthongs. | ''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).
