 * ''mat'' (''a'' is short) > ''mat'''t'''e'' (''a'' remains short, but a short vowel occurs never in an open syllable, so we need to double the following consonant to maintain the syllable closed).
-However, when two vowels that form a hiatus are found together, the rules change a little bit: if the first vowel is written just one time it is considered short, even if it is at the end of the syllable (that is even if the syllable is open), otherwise, if it is long, it has to be written doubled, ex.:
+However, when a vowel forms a diphthong with ''j'' or ''w'', it is written doubled when it is long, ex.:
-* ''mëic'', "doctor", is read ['mεik], ''ëi'' is not a diphthong: ''më-ic'', the ''e'' is short;
+* ''hooj'', "today", is read ['ho:i̯], ''o'' is long;
-* ''ooijr'', "to hear", is read [o:εi̯r], ''ooij'' is not a diphthong: ''oo-ijr'', the ''o'' is long.
+* ''raj'', "ray", is read ['rai̯], ''a'' is short.
 There are also words whose pronunciation is tricky: how is the word ''deeuw'', "god", pronounced? Either as ['de:ɶu̯] or as ['dεø:u̯]? Do the vowels ''e'' and ''u'' form a diphthong or a hiatus? In such cases it is used a dieresis to help the reader. The dieresis indicates that the following vowel doesn't form a diphthong, f.ex. the word ''deeuw'' is written ''dëeuw'': the dieresis indicates that the second ''e'' isn't part of a long ''e'', but it is part of the diphthong ''eu'', thus ''dëeuw'' is read as ['dεø:u̯].
