Appendix:Variations of "o" English Etymology From the old practice, which comes from French, of using the diaeresis accent to communicate vowel hiatus, i.e. to clarify that a vowel is to be spoken separately rather than joined with or influenced by the sounds before it; for example, en Chloë is to be read as CLOH-EY, not CLEE (i.e. an oe as in en Oedipus#Pronunciation); and the ae in en aëroport is not spoken as that in en archaeology. Interfix en interfix en very rare sometimes archaic or nonstandard en -o-; used to clarify that the O sound should be pronounced distinctly and not as an OO sound.
