 =====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).
+Diphthongs are formed by following a vowel with ⟨ι⟩ or ⟨ου⟩ (for /i/ and /u/ respectively).
+=====Hiatus=====
+When two adjacent vowels that normally form a "false diphthong" (i.e. a monophthong written with two vowel letters) are in hiatus or form a diphthong, this is indicated with a diaresis on the second vowel, which is invariably ⟨ι⟩ or ⟨υ⟩.
+A diaresis is not used if the first vowel has an accent, since that precludes the possibility of it being a false diphthong.
