Diacritics
There are three combinable diacritics in Lyaib: a horizontal line over a vowel indicates umlauting (E>Ë, I>�?, O>Ö, U>Ü), a vertical line over a vowel indicates an I-dipthong, and a tiny U over a vowel indicates an U-diphthong. Umlauting and diphthongization can be combined, which is shown reflected in the diacritics, too.
