Ex. _¿Cómo puede re|ir?_ p. 182, XLIX, l. 4. Synaeresis serves sometimes to overcome this rule. The result is usually harsh. Ex. _En re^ir á costa ajena, les prepara._ (c) If an accented strong vowel precedes a weak, they form a diphthong. The diphthong is rarely dissolved, and is usually marked with a diaresis, if dissolution takes place. Ex. _Beso del aura, onda de luz_, p. 170, XV, l. 5. (d) If an accented strong vowel follows a weak they may or may not form a diphthong. Ex. _Por una sonrisa, un ci^elo_, p. 172, XXIII, l. 2. [Diphthong.] Ex. _Domando el rebelde, mezquino idï|oma_, p. 164, I, l. 6. [No diphthong.] Diaeresis or synaeresis may usually be employed according to the case. Thus, _fiel_ becomes by diaeresis _fi|el_, and _br|ioso_ becomes by synaeresis _bri^oso_. It should be remembered that in some words the accentuation is variable, while in others it is fixed. |
