Noun
[edit]dierezo (accusative singular dierezon, plural dierezoj, accusative plural dierezojn)
- (orthography) dieresis, a diacritic mark ( ¨ ) placed over the second of two consecutive vowels to indicate that the second vowel is to be pronounced separately.
Usage notes
[edit]Two dots over a vowel ( ¨ ) indicates a dieresis in some languages, and an umlaut in others. The diacritical mark itself is called surdupunkto.
